Capitalizing on your environment can push your imagery to a new level.

At a recent Baltimore Sun Media Group assignment I was given some incredible dark green backdrops and harsh sunlight. The combination allowed the background go all the way to black and isolated the subject.

Obviously I moved all the images in color but the entire time I knew they would look great in black and white. A lot of the time I find color images to be stronger but a really nice black and white conversion can help an image.

I may try some more images in black and white in the future.

Until next time, take care!
