The Film Noir Artist: The Art of Film Noir Still Photography

Film Noir Photography The Gold Standard in Black & White Printmaking To shoot good film noir images you must be knowledgeable about the nuances of the black & white medium. It goes to the core of what makes a black & white image mysterious, ominous, almost foreboding, like the image of the isolated city street shrouded in shadows on the cover of this book. Why, for example, when someone is confronted by a stark black & white image, does it immediately command the viewer's attention? Why is it so different, so compelling, and perceived as something out of the ordinary? The answers to these questions, and much more, are provided in this book about the advantages of shooting film noir photographs. More importantly, a powerful argument is presented for why you must have a reason for shooting outstanding black & white images and an appreciation to the circumstances under which black & white film flourishes. If you choose your subjects and themes according to this principle, you will do well as a Film Noir Artist. The Rebirth of Film Photography The photography world had taken a peculiar turn: Film photography was eclipsed by digital photography, which in turn became the prominent form of photographic imaging. The digital craze began in the late 1980s and early 1990s and continued well into the first couple of decades of the twenty-first century. Then a renaissance took place among the Millennial and Gen Z generations: A new interest in film photography exploded upon the scene. Learn how you can be a Film Noir Artist in this new and exciting rebirth of film photography, and why more digital and professional photographers are returning to film.
