2019 MONO AWARDS: PEOPLE


Paul Hoelen
Many editing suites give you access
to colour sliders (e.g. B&W Mix sliders
in the Develop module of Lightroom),
which offer a surprisingly versatile way
to shape the final look of your black-
and-white images by working on the
different colour channels. You may need
to experiment for a while to get a feel for
the range of influence and impact they
have, but it certainly widens your scope
considerably for shaping the final image.

Douwe Dijkstra
Don’t be afraid of using large black
areas in your composition – just
counter it with bright contrasting
whites to highlight your subject.
