Hello Mark, great video and exciting perspective. To establish my credibility, I have a commercial photography degree as well as 8 years of professional experience. Currently, I am the head of photography for a successful jewelry company. I would like to offer my perspective on a broader topic regarding the subject of this video. Nothing makes a photo fine art while fine art can be anything. Learning what fine art means inside photography is your best bet at entering the world of fine art photography. Fine art is more than what your video suggests, which is, at its core, turning it black and white and increasing its contrast. I would say what you are really achieving here is "How to make your photo feel more serious" which would be far more useful in understanding photography and its editing process.

I’ve always admired this style of photography, and still do. It would be great if this tutorial went into why you’re making these edits. For example, you darkened down one side of the building, but why that side, and why in general (same goes for basically all the other steps, why make the background black, why add that little halo at the bottom of the background, etc. etc.). I’m only offering my humble feedback because you did such a great job with this video that I selfishly would like to see a more detailed version of it. After watching this tutorial, my impression is ‘that’s how this photo was edited’, rather than ‘I think I can do that’.
Thanks, I hope you’re doing well, and again, I’m only offering feedback because you did such a great job. Thank you!

[Herkulez]

What a brilliant video to show how it’s done. I only shoot portraits but this made me want to start making photos like that

Awesome 👌
btw: converting the image to 16-bit colour usually eradicates banding

Super impressive technique and love the final images (literally creating art) - thanks for sharing!

[warrenlloyd]

Great video. I've seen quite a few fantastic images similar to these and had no idea how they've been achieved. Can't wait to give these techniques a go!

[krisztiankovacs]

Great Mark. 👌 Without B&WArtisan panel, great result. 👌

[scotty]

excellent tutorial Mark, my favourite genre is B&W Fine Art Architecture so really enjoyed this and picked up a few tips. In terms of your image from NYC, I liked what you did with the dash of colour, thought it worked really well

[owentaweeruksakul]

WOW! Mark. this picture blew my mind. I love your work a lot. so impressive. you're my inspiration. Well done:)

[HMaxTube]

Super enhancement techniques, beautiful results…though I’d love to see some other iterations on the sky🌟👍👏

[gilcarag]

Interesting techniques. I already gave a couple of tries to fine art B&W but my techniques were more laborious, mostly involving brushes. Thanks.

I love the work you are doing. The outcome is superb. Hopefully I can implement some of your strategies.
