This Week’s Challenge: #PRTV_blackpoint

We’ve gone to black this week with a bit of an editing challenge using the black point. Altering your black point in a photo is a great way to change up the look and feel of a photo and we wanted you to stretch those editing skills. Go check out our top picks (and the other entries as well) and give them some insta love.Next Week’s Challenge: #PRTV_food3Find out more about upcoming challenges and past winners at photorec.tv/prtv.You can follow Photorec.TV on Instagram at @Photorec.tv and the team:

Rose’s Features:

Fantastic composition. I love the way the structure fills the entire frame.

I love the lighting and composition. The black and white treatment is perfect for this image.

A classic shot done very well. The composition is strong, and the black and white treatment keeps the visuals simple and powerful.

Roy’s Features:

Jane has a nice faded look in this shot by raising up the black point giving it a nice aged and softer feel.

“She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live” - Annie Dillard - - - - Decided to try a matte effect for this week’s photo challenge “Black point” - in the Lightroom Tone Curve panel, I raised the shadows up a bit by pulling the leftmost point on the curve upwards - giving a muted “matte” look to the blacks and a vintage look to the photo - - - - #prtv_blackpoint #prtv #librarylife #publiclibrary #curlupwithagoodbook #bookworm #mattephotography #agoodbook #marinciviccenter #lovetoread #cameramama #clickinmoms #momswithcameras #our_everyday_moments #momtogs #letthembelittle #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #letthekids #dearphotographer #livethelittlethings #MagicofChildhood #enchantedchildhood #thesincerestoryteller #celebrate_childhood #mom_hub #honestlyparents #ourcandidlife #kidsforreal #tonecurve

It’s a nice dark shot and by lowering the black point you see a lot of the nice film grain as well.

Something a bit different with this creative edit, pushing it darker really made the colorful bits pop
