Suppose you fall in LOVE with a black and white photo and then...

iayon · 25th June 2009

i was browsing through some photographers' websites
and then suddenly i found one with amazing black and white converstion.
he used the same toning in 12-13 image

is there any way i can get his tone using those pik?

like watch the black and white of matiasphotography.com
i have tried tint/double layer blending.....didn't work

Any samples of yours and your fav photographer?

understanding what black and white photography encompasses,

rather than trying to kope other's workflow, is far better approach

one is just blind copying, without understanding what you are doing, the other is knowing what you are doing.

i think it is clear which one is far more superior.

u may want to try Duotone/Tritone..

but its quite alot of experimenting and experience to get it right...
