Alright folks, a quick...ok this one is definitely not quick, tutorial on how I convert to Black and White when it truly matters. What I mean by that is that all my black and white conversions, better yet, all of my retouching is not all done on the same level. The time I spend in front of the computer will depend on two things, how much was I paid and do I love this image! They go hand in hand, the more I get paid the more I love the image!

This video will show you my technique when I have a lot of love for the image! It takes much longer than just running it through lightroom or some plugin, but this is a work of love remember!

Black and white will many times save an image, like the one above! The color version is just blah looking, but the black and white is wow looking!
