The Elverhoj Museum of History and Art will host panel discussion on photography on March 23 at 4 p.m.
Approaches to Black and White Photography features three local photographers discussing the range of possibilities offered by black and white photography, including images inspired by famed photographers to new interpretations using digital techniques.
The featured photographers are Paul Roark—whose exhibit Between Light and Dark is featured at the Elverhoj through April 14—Christopher LT Brown, and George Rose.
“Creating black and white photography is very different from creating color photography,” Roark stated in a press release. “An awareness of the differences is needed in order to be able to create good black and white photography, where the input of the artist is often more important than the subject.”
The event is free, and the public is invited to join in the discussion. A reception with light refreshments will follow the discussion.
The museum is located at 1624 Elverhoy Way, Solvang. For more information, call (805) 686-1211 or visit elverhoj.org.
