WePhoto - 2016 - B&W - Vol 1
WePhoto “The Series” B&W Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. It was not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photographic work of the 10 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Since then, we have published 21 eBooks and the Special edition “Calendar 2015” and now two Calendars 2016. This new collection – The Series - is made of different eBooks, each one (or more than one if required) related to a specific photographic theme, including the artworks of several authors from Italy and abroad. This is the First eBook of the fourth line of this new collection and has been dedicated to Black and White.
We are all so excited and happy to be able to collect such beautiful images and, most of all to be able to share them with a wide audience. Spread, share, recommend everyone to download eBooks from our webpages and links below. Also make sure to leave your feedback on the eStores – 5 stars comments would be great. RATE IT!

Black And White L’inizio. Le prime immagini fotografiche, come quelle cinematografiche, furono in Bianco e nero. Prima ancora che esistessero fotocamere “personali” I Fotografi erano quasi degli EROI. Portando in giro attrezzature ora impensabili, hanno svelato un mondo a tutti irraggiungibile, con le loto fotocamere pesanti, ingombranti, con lastre di vetro, su cui doveva essere stesa a mano una gelatina di bromuro d’argento, sviluppata subito dopo lo scatto. Ora, con le nostre Reflex, andiamo comodamente in giro e scattiamo stupende immagini a colori. Eppure, anora oggi, molti eliminano le informazioni-colore per ridare, con il Bianco e Nero, un’atmosfera di stupenda irrealtà alle proprie immagini. Un fascino che il tempo non potrà mai modificare.
Black And White The beginning. The first photographic images were black and white. Before there were "personal" cameras, the photographers were almost HEROES. Bringing around their equipment now unthinkable, they have unveiled a world unreachable to all, with their heavy cameras, bulky, with glass plates on which was to be laid by hand a gelatin silver bromide, to be developed immediately after the shooting. Now, with our Reflex we go around and we take beautiful color pictures. Yet, even today, many photographers eliminate color information to give back, with Black and White, the wonderful atmosphere of unreality to their images. A charm that time will never change. Mario Buncuga January 2016

I am closely linked to B & W, passionate about photography for a long time, I used films in BW and i had the experience to develop and print my photos. Today switching to digital, which gives us color images, I have available the technology that Photoshop allows me to have a beautiful black and white conversion, as in the dark room, getting those beautiful shades of gray, just as the film gave us.. I love black and white because it allows to strengthen much more sense and communicative of image, otherwise elusive. 9

Marco Colombari Bologna, Italy
I started to get interested, just for fun, to photography in the early '80, and learning the basics of the same! a small break, which lasted about 20 years and then I started recently with the digital (2008) having to brush up everything I had learned as a young man, but without difficulties! Now I can not do without it also because it will be the favorite hobby of when I retire! In addition to the street and BW that I love, also I cultivate a passion for the Nature where he sees me busy every day of the week! I have 56 years old, am Italian, I live in a wonderful city that is Bologna, to which I am very attached and where are born most of my shots BW and Street! I live in symbiosis with the camera, I always carry it with me, except when I sleep, and I think that is main trick to capture moments from life to live! because you know, when you haven't the camera with you, everything happens! I do not like having to say ... ops had not with me! '

Ruslan
Ruslan Bolgov Klaipeda, Lithuania Born and live in Klaipeda, Lithuania Started to take photos back to 80ties while at school with film ZenitE, but then photography was forgotten quite for a while. Returned about 3 years ago when got old enough for quality photography searching for own style At this point started to photography seascapes, since obviously live at the seaside and trying to reflect the beauty of the nature around us Since nature and woman are the most beautiful what we see around, easy easy started to participate in photoshoots and create own projects photographing beautiful woman. Both those forces (nature and woman) have inside a lot of power, which may create, or may destruct. Catching of both moments are most interesting point What is more important in photography, reality or vision.. thats very hard question. All the *reality* we see thats comes out of our personal vision. For myself the vision and fantasy is more important, because reality as more restricted. My inspiration is beauty. Making photos am not really creating this beauty, but trying to stop those beautiful moments. After all, the world is like we see it.

Roberto
Roberto Burchi Firenze, Italy My name is Roberto Burchi, I was born and lived in Florence until 1992. Now I live in the countryside 30 km from Florence. I am NOT a professional photographer, but I always had, as a young man, a great passion for photography .If I were to synthesize my idea of Photography, I take as an example the words of Tiziano Terzani. "Photographing means seeking in things that one has understood with his head. The big picture is the image of an idea." For this reason I do not do a particular kind of pictures, but I try around me all that can express my idea, that are connected to the beauty, nature, in all its manifestations, the people who lives his daily life. The picture, for me, is the story of what it sees my mind, my heart, my soul. 57

Mi avvicino alla fotografia da autodidatta. Dopo qualche anno di scatti da turista, dal 2011 comincio a fotografare "seriamente". Dal 2014 sto portando avanti il progetto “Cenerentola non abita più qui” con la rivisitazione del mito in chiave umana svelandone vizi e debolezze di cui per ora ho sviluppato 3 delle 8 storie in progetto “L’ultima bugia di Pinocchio” “Come eravamo” e “Il lupo ha fatto il porco”. Presente su diverse riviste fotografiche e mostre di rilevanza Nazionale. Vi invito ad approfondire sul mio sito.
