Seeing in B&W: Using the color content of an image to enhance impact

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Dave Hachey

For the first 100 years of photography, black and white prints were the predominant mode of presentation.  With the invention of color films in the 1930s, color replaced B&W imaging in print media even though the medium remained a popular genre in photojournalism and fine art.  B&W can be used to change the tenor of an image by focusing the eye to a selected area of interest, or to alter compositional elements of an image.  Today’s digital tools allow us to manipulate images in ways that were unimaginable in the film days. Dave will share examples of his B&W work from his portfolio and examine, in detail, his images using the tools in Adobe Lightroom.

Dave Hachey is a new family member of BPG, but he brings years of wonderful images from his travels to seven continents and perhaps 40 or 50 countries in a quest for “good light and inspiration.” Since retirement from Vanderbilt’s School of Medicine, he’s had the time to pursue his passion for photography and travel.

Denise Silva’s presentation focuses on learning to how to refine your imagery with a focus on simplicity through the elimination of non-essential components from your composition. By stripping an image down to its bare essentials, minimalistic imagery emphasizes your subject and tells your story. Simplicity can be powerful when executed properly.  

Her interest in photography started when her grandmother would share her slideshow travels to Egypt and Africa.  Thirty-five years later, those seeds took root and inspired her to embrace photography and travel, from which Road Runner Photography Tours was born.

Denise is recognized as one of the top 200 Women Photographers Who Inspire by Nature Photo Guides and has had multiple articles published in Extraordinary Vision (EV) Magazine, and is a featured artist in Breakthrough Photography’s Guide to Night Sky Photography. 

Her passion is to share her knowledge of photography, while introducing people to the amazing landscapes, wildlife, and people all over the world. Denise embraces the idea that everyday above ground is a good one, so get out and enjoy!
