Snowstorm at the Train Station (Montreal)

I love colors and as the result of my unconditional love, you hardly can see any black & white examples in my portfolio.

This is the way it normally works. I take the picture and right away I see the potential in it to be interesting black & white piece. I convert it to black & white in Photoshop and then spend 20-30min working on processing it. When I am done and ready to save it as the final JPEG, I always change my mind and switch it to the color version. Colors always win.

Winter shots are the only occasions when colors are at disadvantage in my world. This is when I often have a chance to produce and publish a b&w photo.

Shooting + Processing

I love shooting during the snowstorms. This is when I do not bother to bring a DSLR camera with me. I only pick my point-and-shoot Lumix LX7 so I can keep it in my pocket and be ready to shoot quickly and hide it again.
