Fun with Black and White

As an artist, I enjoy experimenting with various mediums of art, especially photography. With today's technology, the possibilities are endless! We can take color photos and make them black and white, manipulate light sources, increase contrast, and even create canvas effects.

Here are a few photos made into black and whites. I increased the contrast and even use a canvas feature on one of them.



What do you all think? What art forms interest you?

  3. Thank you, Hell's Belle! I amazed that the black and white with the heavy-handed contrast makes my blond highlight look so white and that my red hair look black!

  5. Those pictures are great! They make me think of Cruella Deville, with the contrast of your hair and the pictures in general!
