I have been getting a few questions lately about how I have been doing my recent black and white work.  It is incredibly simple to replicate this look.

1.  Shoot in open shade.  Find a spot that has very even shaded light.  Add some positive or negative fill as needed, but I generally dont.

2.  Load up some Kodak bw400cn.

3.  Take an ambient light reading and over expose by 1 to 2 stops.

4.  Click

5.  Send film to Richard Photo Lab

6.  The End

I don’t mean to over simplify it but there is literally noting else I am doing.
