- Plan to shoot black and white before you take the shot
- Look for the abstract
- Shoot in RAW or use color filters
- Use long exposures
- Dodge and Burn
- Understand how light is affected
- Use HDR
- Emphasize mood
- Subvert Expectation (take black and white photos of things you would expect to be in color)
