People often ask me, “Why don’t I see a lot of black and white and sepia pictures on your website?” To be honest, I love color! We live in color and to me color just has so much more life to a picture. I’m all about living and being fresh and vibrant! I love happy colors! But on occasion, I will enhance my photos to make them black and white, sepia, or even vintage looking. It truly depends on the photo itself. I just prefer color over anything else but that doesn’t mean I can’t touch them up to any other style. =P
But today is your special day, because I’m going to play with some black and white photo manipulations.
As usual, I used my Kubota Actions as well as Totally Rad Actions – Dirty Pictures.
I basically did my usual post processing in RAW then used Kubota Actions to convert then to Black and White and manipulated the shadows and light in order to get just the right balance that I was aiming to get.
Then, I used Totally Rad – Dirty Pictures (specifically roxie glitterhips and sapphire velvet). VOILA! Instant Black and White goodness with some textures to boost up its awesomeness.
I adore the shades of light in both pictures with a tint of color beaming through. Enjoy!
