The Magic of Black & White – Part III, Nine Photos by Andrew S. Gibson, takes us through nine gorgeous black and white images with the goal of teaching more advanced techniques to give our images more subtlety and power.

Clearly taught in Photoshop, and 5 of the lessons in Photoshop Elements, Andrew takes us through Toning, Split Toning, Exposure Blending, Textures, and the creation of Diptyches and Triptyches, all without losing sight of the idea that our work should be driven by intent with the goal of creating photographs that honor the Artist’s need for expression and the Geek’s need for excellence of craft. And all that without getting mired down – the examples and the illustrations Andrew provides compliment his clear teaching style and make this book a pleasure to read.

I found this book to be an exceptional value with great step-by-step instructions and numerous screenshots. Craft & Vision has several publications currently available for download covering a wide range of photography topics.
