Come with me in the garden of Luxembourg in Paris and I want to show you how you can take boring afternoon photos and with the right composition make them into nice Black and White Fine art that you can hang on a wall.
I will show you my selection process and how I edit them in details with all the tools Lightroom has to offer

This really seemed to fit what I did yesterday. I took average Joe photos and then I went back to make them black and white. I think it looks better. I wish I could add my photos here so I can show you.

Merci Serge! I find it very useful that you say something about making a good composition to take a photo.
Awesome! Glad it helped :-)
Thanks for the tips. Very inspiring

Talk about perfect timing. I was contacted by a client yesterday that wanted some black and white versions of some color work I did for them previously. I don’t generally do a lot of black and white so this video will help.
Here you go! Perfect ;-)
Serge thank you so much. This is exactly what I requested. You certainly delivered. Thank you thank you

Been following you for almost 5 years. You're me inspiration!!! :)
That’s awesome thank you so much for the support :-)
Serge, I watched you on the recent Kelby LR virtual a couple weeks ago, keying on the B/W lesson. I was so impressed with your B/W LR/PS style I have been watching everything I can get my hands on. I have purchased your presets, which are great. However, watching your process, I find I really enjoy making the changes myself. B/W is my go-to, so I am thrilled to have upped the caliber of my images. Thank you for being so generous with your processes. Cheers.
That’s really awesome Laura thank you and I am happy you are enjoying the process :-)
Amazing tips....
Thank you so much!
Thanks, Serge, I learnt so much from this video. You have inspired me to have a go!
Thanks a lot! That means a lot!
Excellent tutorial thank you
This was so instructional to watch and learn. You make it look so easy. Definitely going to use these techniques on my photos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
No problem, my pleasure and thanks for your kind words ;-)
Love these videos 👍🏼 makes we want to go to France. 😀
Haha you are welcome to! I am sure you will love it!
Great video. And so inspiring.
thanks a lot
I look forward to every video you put out! I have written notes everywhere. And use them!
That’s so cool! I really appreciate it!
Awesome Sir...
Thanks!! :-)
great video. Thanks
You are so welcome ;-)
Inspirational ! I so much appreciate the time and effort that you take to produce this content which is of immense benefit to us all. Thank you Serge !!!
Thank you so much! That means a lot! ;-)
Love the Lightroom editing tips....has definitely made my photography better! Well done! Interesting to see that you expose to the left for the shadows. Like how you converted the color photograph to B&W; sometimes not sure if that works for my photographs and you showed how I can accomplish that well.
Awesome!
I like the advice on photography and some of the tricks of using Lightroom and not photoshop all in all an absolutely great tutorial
Thank you so much! Very happy you like it!
I love all of your videos and am learning so much. In this video, I especially liked watching you cull all of the photos and listening to your thought process as you did it. Thank you so much.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! :-)
Thank you. That was very informative.
You are very welcome!
@@SergeRamelliPhotography I also wanted to complement you on your staff. Patrik has been very helpful with a question I had regarding your Photography Business Masterclass.
I love seeing day time photography. I seem to never make it out at Golden Hour.
Haha it is an art to chase the sun ;-)
After watching a past video of Serge on big cat fine art I then used his technique on a few photos and I must the results were amazing. I will use the technique in this videos on some aircraft images from an airshow.
Nice! Thank you so much for the great feedback!!! :-)
Brilliantly informative thank you. You are really opening up the potential of LR to me. I found the tips about where to position the shots very helpful too.
Thank you for continuing to put out such great content. X
Thanks! Really appreciate it! :-)
When I first saw you on TH-cam, I knew I needed to get LightRoom. You are very generous with your information and have taught me so much in the year that I've been following your website, so thank you very much. Your editing process and workflow has been invaluable; however, it would be extremely informative to learn the next step: What is needed and how best to get my edited photos printed and hanged professionally. Thanks again for all your hard earned knowledge :)
Yes I will do a new video on that!
This was my favorite Lightroom tutor when I started with Lightroom 5 :)
Great job.I have purchased lots of your tutorials in the past. And It has taken my editing to a whole new level thank you 👍
So happy to hear that! Thanks ;-)
Great video Serge, some very handy tips
Thank you!
You are welcome!
c'est vraiment genial.. Merci Serge! really enjoyed watching your videos.
You are so welcome very happy you love it
Good day Serge. I've learn so much from your videos, it's incredible how much my photos have improved. Keep those videos coming.
Awesome soo happy to hear! :-)
Thanks for the great tutorials ✅
Your welcome
Love your work Serge
Thank you very much :-)
Your videos are always inspirational- and this one is no exception. Loved the way you walk us through the entire workflow and be a part of the journey. Thanks !
Thanks a lot! :-) really appreciate it :-)
omg, you are amazing
Haha no you are!
Amazing video! I love it!!
Thanks! Happy you do!
Great Job my friend !!! BR
Thank you!! ;-)
MerCI... MerCi Beaucoup..!!
Avec plaisir ;-)
Thanks Serge, I watched one of your tutorials on BNW from a few years back and you used silver Efex pro, do you still use it? Or just Lr
I do use it sometimes but my usual workflow is in Lightroom ;-)
Don Spicer I use both and choose after comparing the results. More and more I have been choosing LR
Enjoyed watching and learning. Looking forward to more so I subscribed to your channel.
Awesome! Welcome:-)
Shift + N = great tip!
You are welcome :-)
i just shot there month haha, its interesting to see how someone else tackles the same place you photographed
Yes I find it fascinating to see how photographers capture the same spot in complete different ways..
I love this You U should do a part three on "people" or "portraits"
Good idea ;-)
I have been using Lr for years, even followed a 3 afternoon (boring) course for that (I learned more on my own). But I learn more from a 18 min training video of yours than in an afternoon. Thanks!
That’s so awesome thank you so much, I am glad that I could help you :-)
More amazing shared knowledge completely for free (although I am a fully signed-up member of a lot of your courses and packages)... big thanks as always - you are the best - I love what you have helped me achieve with my photos.
Thank you so very much! That means a lot to me, I really try to share as much as I can for free ;-)
Nice video Serge, I would have used Silver Effects Pro but it is amazing to see you at work and I love what you are doing, learn a lot of these tutorials. Merci!
Thanks a lot! really appreciate it!
very good
:-)
Love your videos Serge but your horizons are killing me in this one...LOL
Hahah oops sorry :-)
I have just discovered you Serge - I really enjoy your videos and have already purchased some of your presets as well as downloaded some free ones. Your explanations are really clear and I like the way you repeat the same processes with a number of images eg replacing skies. Looking forward to seeing more tutorials and purchasing some of your presets and actions. Cheers from DownUnder.
Hello Mike! That’s really nice, welcome! I am glad you enjoy my content, I will keep it up and hope you will get a lot out of them ;-)
Good video thanks
Thanks! And you are welcome ;-)
Nice... just got the s22 myself. Was wondering how good it would be for printing
i very love you video
Thank you very much!!
Nice tutorial! Suggestion for a next tutorial... action photography? Low shutter speed photo's.
Nice! Thanks for the idea ;-)
Hi Serge, I've followed your channel for a good number of years now and still enjoy the lessons, You can always learn something new in Photography.
I just upgraded my camera from a Fuji XT10 to an XT2. So far I've been playing with it just to get used to it. Later this week I'm going to Berlin for a long weekend so looking forward to trying some more monochrome shots. There's a little battle going on in my head now saying JPG straight out of the camera Vs Editing RAW. Newer cameras have great film simulation modes. What do you think of modern JPGs ? Regards, Drew, Edinburgh
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it! I always shoot raw, always! There is just so much more info that you are free to develop your photo the way you want!
Mind if I ask what camera strap you are using in this video? Thanks for the video, it was very helpful.
My Sony one ;-)
Wow... this was really nice! I like how you just "go" and get right to business and you go at a quick pace! You don't go "fast" but just quick and direct. I DO have Lightroom experience so I'm sure that helps as I understand what you're doing, yet learning a LOT at the same time! This is GREAT! I'm actually traveling for work right now AND I bought my camera, so I will be trying this out!!!
Hope it goes well, you go to get a good contrast in the sky for this work well
Great video. I am starting to learn about fine art photography. If I am not wrong, you chose the pictures based on minimalism?
Further,I hope to see some videos on focus stacking in landscape photography.
Great stay tune I have a lot of videos!
Question: have you ever tried straight-from-camera B&W to JPEG? What recommendations can you offer for doing that?
No actually, I like the raw and do all the retouch afterwards ;-)
I loved what you did to your photograph in Lightroom. If you can achieve this in Lightroom what would Photoshop, Silver effects pro or and of the other applications geared to B&W? Also, I am waiting for your complete bundle specials between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oops, is it ok to say Christmas? 😇
Yes all good! Excited for you to get it! ;-)
This was quite interesting to me, im not really a fan of B&W and its rare for me to like it over the color version but i liked what you did with the building and clouds with the water foreground, i might give it a go as im in a bit of a photography slump at the moment, thanks for your good work Serge ;)
Haha awesome! Thanks :-)
Thanks
In a real world, reflections in the water can never be brighter than the walls of the building.
Merci pour cette vidéo, l'approche est géniale elle permet de réellement progresser dans lightroom sur le noir et blanc. J'ai une question, je voudrai acheter une de vos photos de New york en N&B en grand format sur plexi par exemple, est ce possible et si oui comment faire, "voila" encore merci
Super merci ça fait vraiment plaisir :-) le meilleur moyen c’est via yellow korner le reseau photo :-)
nice tuto !
for pictures with flowers at F/6.3, do you focus on flowers ? the castle doesn't seem so blur !
You master Lightroom + brush but I am not fan. very limited. either i use photoshop (i like your b&w courses on photoshop !) or most often Sylver efex pro 2.
Because i migrate more and more to Luminar (looking forward to V4), i would be intersted to see tutos and courses on fine art black and white in Luminar using Accent AI2, sky enhancer,...
There is a free huge megapack from skylum for B&W but still difficult to reach same deep dramatic BW than with sylver efex pro 2.
Okay cool thanks! For the focus it depends what look you are going for..
Hi sir again very beautiful video so much to learn from you.Sir can i get a signed book of paris from you.Cheers Buddha bless you and your sweet family always🙂❤❤❤
Thanks a lot !
Thank you Serge, a great use of harsh mid-day light. I always look forward to your inspirational videos. Thanks again.
Nice that’s a lot! Happy you like it ;-)
It will be very helpful if you could have your instructions typed on Screen such as Alt-Black or white slider or Brush tool- then Effect- New etc
True good idea :-
Another excellent video Serge, thank you.
By the way what is that gorgeous music playing in the background?.
Click on Auto and prey. :D just because i am not faithfull i do it manually all the time. :D
Haha that make sense
Thank you, your creative techniques are pretty cool. I learn something new from each and every session.
Thank you so much Dan! That means a lot!
I must say, that I really enjoy the way evolution you come through as a photographer. I remember the first videos, where every photo had a maximized slider to left/right for shadows/highlights...not to mentions other things like a lot of magenta. Currently you try to not over do with sliders which is very helpful, especially for someone who starts his/her adventure with photography. To sum up, I really enjoyed this video and previous also. It teached me a lot... Thank you! :-)
Thanks yes I try to improve!
That building still ain’t straight. Nice though.
I got to check that out !
I don't know why but i don't have the white and black in the brush
Really ? That’s odd
@@SergeRamelliPhotography i have bought lightroom once I have payed more than 100 euro, but I know there's a version where you pay every month and got more tools and more options, is it true?
There can be only one XD
Haha sorry I go crazy sometimes haha
Ça serait sympa de refaire quelques vidéos en français. Merci d'avance
Agence CARRERE L'IMMOBILIER no
Voici la meme video en francais: th-cam.com/video/aPn3SviQdkw/w-d-xo.html
Color one looks better
Okay ;-)
Hey serge ya might want to think about keeping your horizons level.
Just as the final result is about to happen an ad for your panorama retouching video comes across the screen. Please correct that.
Okay sorry about that
Why dont you shoot in black and white straight from the camera and then edit?
I like to have the option and I prefer to do everything on post :-)
