Live Online Class with Rich Seiling
Wednesday, August 6th, 6-7:30pm | Via Zoom | 90 minutes (60 min instruction + 30 min Q&A)

Discover how to transform your photos into striking black-and-white images with the same techniques used by master printers.

In this one-night online class, renowned photographer and printmaker Rich Seiling shares insights from over four decades of working with black-and-white photography. With a career devoted to creating expressive prints for top photographers and museums across the country, Rich will guide you through the process of converting color images into compelling black-and-white photographs—using methods that go far beyond simply clicking a button.

You’ll learn:

• Why black-and-white is more than just the absence of color

• How tonal contrast, negative space, and subtle grays create emotion and depth

• The critical decisions behind color-to-B&W conversion that shape the entire photo

• How to evaluate which of your images will shine in black-and-white

• Time-tested techniques used by photographers for over a century—updated for the digital age

Rich will also provide you with a custom Lightroom Classic preset developed from his own workflow. This powerful tool gives you greater creative control and a jumping-off point for exploring the full potential of your images. (The core concepts can be applied to other editing programs as well.)

You’ll walk away with the skills—and the eye—to bring hidden gems in your photo library to life in black and white.

Bonus: The session will be recorded and available for 30 days after the class, so you can revisit the material anytime.
