Before the digital days, photographers made use of various filters to produce a big portion of their desired look for black and white photography in-camera. As we learned in this previous video tutorial, filters allowed them to darken the skies, increase the contrast, or give flowers a more dramatic look against the rest of the foliage.

Some may argue that we can simply use our go-to editing software to produce the same effects since we’re already in the digital age. But if you’re shooting black and white film, filters will still be your best friends and allow you to achieve the look you want straight on the negatives, potentially minimizing the work you’ll have to do in post. If you’re yet to use filters for shooting black and white, we have just the video to show what to expect. . thephoblographer.com
