The link you provided points to a YouTube video titled ”Mastering Black and White Photography | Pt. 1 Color Filters”. Video Overview
The video focuses on establishing a monochrome photography workflow and overcoming the common challenge of taking flat, dull black-and-white photos dominated by midtone grays. It is designed for both traditional film photographers and modern creators using digital color sensors. Key Concepts Covered
Pre-visualization: Emphasizes training your eye to understand how the active colors in a scene will translate into shades of grey before pressing the shutter.
Physical Color Filters: Explains how using physical filters (like yellow, red, or green) allows photographers to manipulate contrast natively. For example, a classic yellow filter darkens blue skies to make clouds pop.
In-camera Mastery: Advocates for doing as much work as possible before taking the photo. Because native monochrome files have limited flexibility, getting the contrast right in-camera leaves you with minimal editing during post-production.
Are you looking to capture digital black-and-white images, or are you shooting on traditional film? I can give you specific filter recommendations depending on your gear. YouTube·Simon Burn Mastering Black and White Photography | Pt. 1 Color Filters
