Introduction to Photography

Black and White photography is still the favourite for many professionals because it allows the photographer to focus purely on the light, the shapes, the shadows and the interactions between them.

At London Academy the tutor will work with you taking you on a fascinating ride, starting with the black empty scenario in which you start to experiment with lights, models, objects, building your understanding about the interaction with each other.
