David's course has greatly exceeded my expectations: having a well structured program that challenges different aspects of B&W photography together with detailed commentary at each stage is valuable enough. But, further having the opportunity to hear and to see detailed critiques on the many other photos submitted has been a great benefit to us all and has deepened my understanding a great deal. I did not expect to get this much benefit from an online course. Highly recommended.” |

Nightingale – an internationally acclaimed, award winning photographer and instructor – this is the course that will take your black and white photography to the next level.

Please note: If you haven't taken The Art of Black and White Photography yet see below for how to sign up for free so you can work through the online material prior to taking the new Assignments class.
During this four week class you will:
- Work through four key assignments, one each week.
- Receive detailed and informative critiques on your assignment images.
- Be able to view the critiques on your fellow students' images.
- Participate in four live webinars, one per assignment.
See what our current students have said about the course in the comments below.
The Assignments
Each of the four assignments has been designed to test your understanding, develop your skills, and improve your black and white photography through the provision of detailed and informative critiques of your work.
| Week 1 | | This assignment will enable you to explore and master a range of black and white conversion techniques. |
| Week 2 | | Assignment two concentrates on expanding your proficiency to alter the tonal range and contrast of your images, both globally and selectively. |
| Week 3 | | The third week's assignment concentrates on developing your ability to create stunning black and white portraits. |
| Week 4 | | The final assignment is designed to refine and further develop your capacity to add unique and complex tones to your images.
|
For most of the assignments you will be asked to submit two layered PSD files, along with a summary of your rationale for the techniques you used and how they were applied.
The Critiques
For each of your submitted images David will provide a detailed, informative and helpful critique: identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your approach, along with a range of suggestions on what you need to do to improve your images. Additionally, and when appropriate, David will also edit your PSD files to illustrate the points he makes.
The Webinars
While the critiques provide a detailed and invaluable analysis of your own images, the webinars will enable you to develop a much broader understanding of each of the topics covered during this four week course. During each of the live webinars David will work through a range of the images submitted for each assignment: highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and any common points of interest or problems that arose during the week.
Each webinar is recorded, so if you can't make it to the live event you can download it and watch it later.
