For my project we had to take photos in font of a white background, using manual mode and a higher ISO. The pictures when edited and made black and white ended up looking really good. For the black background we needed to master shutter speed and have a lower ISO. For the white we had to do almost the exact same thing except the shutter speed had to be longer and we could not cast a shadow. I think the black background was more simple because we didn’t have to worry about the shadows.
