Creating great black and white photos isn't something you can be taught. When you decide your going to capture black and white images you have to set out with a mindset and eye for seeing things without color. These 5 tips will help refine your techniques.

Lighting For Photos

Because a black and white photo relies so much on shadows to define shapes and details, your approach to lighting can make or break an image.

Selecting Textures

Texture maybe even more important in black and white photography more than it is in color photography simply because texture connotes shadows and a variety of types of lines.

Cropping Images

You dont need a computer to crop images. Before photoshop photographers cropped images with their eyes. By positioning your camera and subject you can crop images in the go and never have to use your computer.
