A Factual Introduction to Black & White Film Photography: Rediscovering the World of Fine Art Printmaking

by Robert Devere

To shoot good black & white film images you must know the facts about the film medium. It goes to the core of what makes a black & white film image mysterious, ominous, almost foreboding. Why, when someone is confronted by a stark black & white image, does it immediately command attention? Why is it so different, so compelling, and perceived as something out of the ordinary? Robert Devere answers these questions, and much more, in this book about the advantages of shooting black & white photographs in the film medium. More importantly, he provides a powerful argument for why you must have a reason for shooting black & white images and why the black & white medium only performs well under specific conditions. Robert Devere is a limited-edition fine art film photographer who shoots exclusively black & white salon prints for collectors and patrons of photographic art. Many amateur photographers have asked him why he shoots only black & white film images, and because it's a good question, he has provided a detailed answer in this book. It is his earnest desire that you will appreciate his response and it will generate enough excitement by you to want to explore the beauty, intrigue, and mystery found in black & white photographs created exclusively from film.
