Plus, many objects—both inanimate and animate—look much better in black and white. If you want to get the most out of your black and white iPhone photos, maximum, read carefully.

When taking photos on iPhone There is nothing easier than switching to one of the black and white filters in the native Camera app. This can be done either directly while taking a photo by tapping the three circles icon in the upper right corner, or you can edit an already taken photo from the gallery. The basic filters in your iPhone are perfectly adequate for a start, but they also have their limitations. For example, you can only adjust a few parameters with them compared to color photos.
Gallery
Taking a digital black and white photo is in many ways much easier than taking an analog photo. If your iPhone photo doesn't turn out the way you imagined, or if you later decide that the originally colored image would look better in black and white, editing is a matter of seconds to minutes. To edit photos on your iPhone, just tap the Edit button and then choose the Color, Light, or Black & White adjustment tools. Tap Light to further adjust highlights, exposure, highlights, shadows, brightness, contrast, and black point. In the Color section, you can adjust saturation, contrast, and veil, and for black and white, you can adjust intensity, neutrality, tone, and grain.
Color filters differently
You can also improve black and white images with color filters. But at the moment we are not talking about software filters, but rather ones that you can cover the camera lens with. In an image from the Cult of Mac website, you can see the use of physical filters on an example image of a green object on a red background. In an ordinary black and white concept, such a still life does not look very good, but using a red filter through the lens of the iPhone camera can change a lot - it lightens the red and darkens the green. The green filter can handle the photo with the opposite result. The orange filter, on the other hand, can suppress red skin imperfections in a black and white photo. In addition, purchasing color filters to cover the camera will not cost you too much. You only need to look for it in Chinese e-shops, for example.
Black and white stage spotlight
The black and white stage spotlight effect in Portrait mode can also do a great "black and white service" on iPhonech with its support. It very simply recolors the focused object into black and white shades and then fills its background with black, which looks really nice. Unfortunately, it is not yet completely perfect and for some objects, filling the background with black is not entirely optimal.
Application tips
If using physical filters is impossible for you, do not despair - there are also virtual filters. The application offers them, for example Snapseed, which is a great choice for all fans of black and white photography. For advanced adjustments, you can use your favorite application Lightroom from Adobe, the application can also handle black and white photos well VSCO. If you want to give your photos a realistic touch of images shot on film, you can try the application I Love Film.
I had it downloaded. appky Lightroom and Snapseed, but after upgrading to the latest iOS with the improved camera and editing options, I no longer need them for normal use :) I'm not a professional photographer, so these improvements are completely enough for me :)
