SHOOTING BLACK & WHITE

​

Three reasons to consider shooting in Black & White in some situations instead of colour.

​

• Prioritises shape, pattern & texture

• Creative use of lighting & shadows

• Emphasis mood, emotion and character.

​

The Hasselblad is the classic medium format film camera with the Hassleblad being an important part of my camera collection.

​

The Moon Landings.

The first Hasselblad camera went into space in 1962. From Apollo 11 to Apollo 17 a total of 12 cameras were left behind on the lunar surface with only the film magazines being brought back.

I had the good fortune of seeing one of the original training cameras during a short exhibition at the Royal Photographic Society in Bath in July 2019.
