About this Event
Step into York and see it differently.
This hands-on black and white photography workshop is all about stripping colour away and letting light, shadow, texture and shape do the talking. York is made for monochrome. Cobbled streets. Ancient stone. Dramatic skies. Proper atmosphere.
Whether you’re shooting on DSLR, mirrorless or even experimenting with manual mode for the first time, this session will help you:
- Spot strong contrast and dramatic light
- Compose for impact without relying on colour
- Use shadows creatively
- Dial in settings for crisp, punchy black and white images
- Build confidence shooting in manual mode (without the headache)
We’ll explore some of York’s most photogenic spots and turn everyday scenes into striking monochrome images.
Expect practical guidance, creative challenges and plenty of lightbulb moments. No jargon overload. Just clear teaching, encouragement and time to experiment.
Perfect for beginners, those wanting to move beyond auto mode, and improvers who want to strengthen their eye for composition and storytelling.
Black and white isn’t old-fashioned. It’s bold. It’s graphic. It’s timeless.
Come and see York in a whole new light.
