Alister Benn – It’s all about Luminosity & Contrast

In 2017 Alister Benn had an epiphany, not surprisingly it was in a desert, the Gobi Desert. With nothing but sand for thousands of square miles and being days from the nearest road, there was a realization that there were no classic compositions in view. Everything before him was sand; textures, layers, transitions. It was in that moment that he realized that everything before him was just luminosity and contrast, but instead of a restriction, it brought about a freedom that has sustained him ever since.

In this webinar, Alister will introduce the concepts using black and white images, many of which were taken in the Gobi Desert.
