Do you remember those fabulous films made in the 1940’s? They used dramatic lighting with huge shadows and everything looked mysterious.
Get inspired with Noir; a genre known for swirling cigarette smoke, blazing guns, a seductive femme fatale, and the dark streets…
If you love photography but you feel… Too busy, tired, unmotivated, or uninspired to pick up your camera, join our #NoirForever photo challenge!
There is a large community of noir photographers, and we at 50andrising love this photo genre. We share our noir forever photos monthly and would love to see what you are doing.
Discover new ways to be inspired through black and white photography, and over the course of the challenge, curate a portfolio of unique images influenced by Noir books and films.
You will be amazed at how you can tell incredible stories with just one image.
Follow @50andrising for ideas!
