Rajasthan in Black & White
A Bishnoi farmer.
This is the first time I have had time to post while running this Rajasthan Photo Trek. We are approaching the halfway mark in our trip. We have a fun group that is enjoying themselves. They are discovering the colors of Rajasthan. It is true, Rajasthan is known for it’s vibrant colors. But sometimes photographers needs to push their boundaries and explore new ways to see old things. This is my fourth time photographing this place and for me this trip has been about light. One of the best ways to explore light is to break it down to highlights and shadows or simply put black & white.

Awesome B & W Matt.
Any particular B & W workflow (Silver Efex Pro? etc) you use for these images?
I love the detail in the images.
Don, all I used was Lightroom and a couple of presets. Of course I did some dodging and buring.
You’ve got to love Rajasthan. It is such a treasure trove of images. The people, the light, its all fantastic.
