Course Description

Anyone can remove the color from a photo, but how do you create black & white masterpieces?

That's where this course comes in. In these tutorials, you will learn how to create stunning black & white images in Affinity Photo. By the time you finish, you will be a black & white master!

We will start by learning how to remove the color from an image. There are actually a lot of different ways to do this, but there is one technique in particular that is the most accurate for turning a color image into a black & white.

After that, you will learn how to control the lighting of your photos. Controlling light is critical for making beautiful black & whites, so we will spend a lot of time learning different lighting techniques. 

Once you know how to control lighting, we will move onto other filters & adjustments you can use to improve your black & whites. We will learn how to blur, sharpen, and more!

And finally, we will finish the course by completing a series of projects together. These projects are designed to bring together everything you have learned, so that you can feel totally prepared to edit your own photos after you finish the course.

This course is a ton of fun, and I know you will learn a lot! So if you are ready to become a black & white master, then please join me in the course. :)

A great course with many creative ideas and an easy relaxed style of teaching that did not take away from the quality that continued to build on the opportunity to develop Affinity Photo skills to use on my own projects.

By Holger Niggemann on 6/27/2025

This was a really good course. The explanations were clear as usual, and the many different techniques, along with a tip or two, made the whole thing a thoroughly successful event. As always, I had a lot of fun learning and experimenting, thank you for that. I was a bit surprised by the grayscale and vintage images. I hadn't expected them here, and they weren't entirely to my taste. I would have preferred more "true" black and white images. However, this isn't an issue, as all the necessary techniques were demonstrated. I'm already looking forward to the next course. Many thanks!

Get tutoring from a brilliant teacher

Great. I have just learnt of a trick i did not know of. Even more tricks with B/W photos.

By Don Simmons on 12/2/2024

I know Black & White processing, but I am transitioning to Affinity and use her tutorials to learn techniques. Very good stuff

By Jesse Lui on 11/21/2024

I love black and white images, and have always wanted to learn how to create dramatic b/w effects to coloured photos. This course systematically helped me acquire the techniques to achieve a variety of those effects. In less than 3 hours. Highly recommend this course if you are a beginner like me in b/w image editing. Thank you so much for this great work. Look forward to more great courses from you in the future!

The teacher talks a bit like it's an AI voice, but that doesn't diminish the quality of the course one bit.

By Brian Crompton on 10/15/2024

Lots of useful workflows and techniques. A little surprised that the Black & White adjustment was the only approach used for conversion from colour, since there are others, e.g. Channel Mixer (Output Channel > Gray). Otherwise, another very good AR course.

By Zafiro Lemos on 10/1/2024

I thought this course was a waste of my time, I almost cancelled it after I accidentally click it. It turned out to be a great course, easy to follow instructions, and inspiring, a must have to gain more knowledge in photo editing.

I would like to express my satisfaction with the course I have just completed. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned a great deal throughout the sessions. The instructor's teaching style was excellent, clear, and concise, which greatly facilitated my understanding of the material. Moreover, her friendly demeanour made the classes even more enjoyable, creating a welcoming and stimulating learning environment. I am eagerly looking forward to new courses, especially on Affinity Photo, as I feel there is so much more to explore and learn in this area. I will certainly be attending future courses!
