If I could describe James Hayman’s photos in a single word, it would be “colorful.” And believe it or not, the majority of his images are black and white! Still, figuratively speaking, Hayman’s work bursts with color: it shows true colors of life and of its different sides.
His photojournalist work has taken James Hayman all around the world. And in this article, we bring you some of his exquisite black and white photos.
Photographer explores subconscious mind through dark and intimate skin macro photos
by 3 Comments
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love it when two different forms of art intertwine to create something new and unique. Such is the project Too Close for Comfort by the UK-based photographer Courtenay Florence. Florence mixes macro photography and writing, adds a generous amount of intimacy, psychology, and subconscious, and sprinkles it with a bit of horror. Her photos show skin up close and personal, and each of them tells a story that will send shivers down your spine.

When it comes to using just a single light source in the studio, there is a lot of great content out there, and we’ve covered some of it here on DIYP before. Often, when you want one light to look like several, though, you usually need to think about multiple shots and compositing in post – whether it be for stills or video. But you don’t have to.
Photographer Jiggie Alejandrino recently showed us one way to shoot dramatic portraits with just one light but now he’s back again with a new tutorial. This one adds even more drama and produces some very impressive results that most people would guess used at least two or three lights. But nope, he just uses one speedlight for these.

But even though it’s far from being new, it’s always fun to experiment with it! In this video, Jacob Carlson teaches you how to do it with black and white film photos. He’ll share some useful tips, what to do and what not to do. And to bring this retro technique together with modern ones – he’ll also show you how to stitch the photos together in Photoshop.
FCC filing lets us take a peek inside the 40.9-megapixel Leica M10 Monochrom
by Leave a Comment
Leica’s 3rd generation M10 Monochrom (model 6376) is an impressive little beast. I don’t know if it’s $8K+ impressive, but it’s pretty good. Announced just a couple of months ago, they’re not in the hands of many yet, but the folks at Leica Rumours discovered the FCC filing for the camera which shows off some of its internal electronics, including that full-frame 40-megapixel sensor.
Although the application was granted in January, Leica filed a confidentiality request with the FCC in order to keep the information and these images under wraps until the camera started shipping to prevent the competition from getting a sneak peek at what was coming.

What shooting film taught me about black and white images

Clients often ask whether they can have their photos in black & white. My reply is always that I’ll do black and white versions in the gallery if they work.
If they help the image shout “look at me”.
