B&W effect

[plastii]

Hi.

I was wondering how to achieve this kind of effect (#4) - bright, clean and sharp in PS.

Thanks

crank up the contrast.

Much of it is in the scene that was photographed -- white walls, white ceiling, light floor contrasting with black clothing, black furniture, black mats on floor. Also plenty of light -- from several windows plus overhead lights. When you get a scene like that properly exposed and in sharp focus, you won't have to do much in post.

Therenis a lot more to it than cranking up the contrast or white walled here. Digital conversion of color photos uses software to replace the filters used to emphasize certain colrs and ranges. This is a good resource that will begin to explain the carols processes used to convert a digital color image to a black and white image that grabs attention.

Deep DOF, too.

+1 that much is in the original shot though. Not just the decoration of the space, but that the shot is sharp with deep DOF, and properly exposed. Must have been a lot of light in there!

Use winde angle lens. Keep the camera very high. Make sure you take a very well exposed photo. Convert it in photoshop.
