Bohemian Secret

or maybe not … just things one learns as one goes …
I have been asked many times … HOW .. how do I do it? How do I achieve my black and whites …
and I have always said …. well I don’t know it just happens …

I took a time to think … I took a time to create ..

I thought about how to share the secret …

1. just FEEL … and trust your feelings …
2. don’t be afraid :)
3. dodge and burn as much as you feel and are not afraid … but keep in mind to preserve the detail …
4. yes the detail … is very important … but more and again … the Feel …

I have been quiet for the last few weeks .. trying to create tools for those who would like to explore .. who would like to travel times and explore space of Fine Art black and white …

I am still working on the details of getting the result out there …. but mean time … First photographer who is willing to share their SOOC image that he/she feels would be great in B&W with me .. will be the first to experience The Bohemian’s Secret … just send me a link to your image using the contact form on this blog .. and in the next few days I will get back to you with the details …
