What is Black & White?
Imagine having a tool that allows you an unlimited amount of options with your black & white conversions? It is the answer to a question that I've had for years: How can I make intricate and diverse black & white conversions accessible to all, fun to use, fast to create, and easy to navigate? How can I help people steer every image to the destination that is truly influenced by their own personal preferences and brings out the photo's utmost potential?

Conceptual photography is about work that starts with a concept or an idea. In many instances, photography normally starts with an image or a place. You go out somewhere that you think will be interesting and take photos. Basically, you can call your photo “conceptual” if you’re using it to illustrate a specific idea. You’re not just capturing a beautiful or interesting scene. You’re trying to help people visualize a concept.
