Hello everyone in the black and white community!
I'm back with another photography session and another blog post. Today's shoot took place on an exceptionally pleasant day. I took my model to a road that ended at a dam. This incredible location, just after a heavy downpour, resembled a shell with my model shining like a pearl inside it. I suggested she bring a bunch of wildflowers with different colors as an accessory, and we shot after clouds appeared in the sky. An incredibly beautiful soft light shone on us from between the clouds that were like a large softbox against the sunlight, making my photos incredibly dreamy.
I made an effort to arrange my lighting so that it would cover my model's entire face and preserve her natural beauty, so this time I exceptionally didn't bring any lights with me. I then took some close-up shots of her and tried different frames for some of the shots. Fortunately, I had a beautiful model who was cooperative in every way, and despite the slightly chilly weather after the rain, she worked with me without complaining and helped improve the outcome.
In one of the photos, her hair was blown messy by the wind, creating a photo with a unique and wonderful feel. The black and white photos taken from this shoot better captured the mood of that day as the sky was full of clouds and that emotional state was completely felt.
I learned valuable things in this shoot and a number of challenges to use the wind direction to my advantage and manage my time in such a way that I can be aware of my model and the few clothes she is wearing so that I can manage time with my high speed of action.
Nature is a constant source of inspiration for photographers, especially in black and white. The absence of color allows us to focus on the form, texture, and light in a scene, creating a more timeless and emotional image.
In the case of Menty's shoot, the overcast sky and the lush greenery of the location created a dramatic and moody atmosphere that is perfectly suited to black and white photography. The use of natural light and the absence of artificial lighting further enhances the natural beauty of the scene.
Black and white photography can also be a powerful tool for storytelling. By stripping away the distractions of color, we can focus on the emotions and expressions of our subjects. This can be particularly effective in portraiture, where the goal is to capture the essence of the person being photographed.

(@brumest - edited : It was edited and the problem of the quality of the photos was solved.. I think this problem was due to the software that I had used for retouching the face and it had reduced the quality the problem is solved )
