This is a group for those who shoot instinctively…where composition is more than a set of rules…where light and dark form a relationship that brings to life the beauty that is Black and White Photography. So, whether you shoot in Digital or Film format, If you believe Black and White photography requires an understanding and appreciation of varying tones (values) and has a pure visual impact that is timeless and classic then this group is for you.
