How to create beautiful black and white photographs

[gwk]

This article is quite useless and a blatant advertisement for the writers workshops. There is no “How To.” It is easy to tell what is needed to do better at something but the devil is always in the detail, which is totally missing. Waste of time reading it and totally misleading title.

Beautiful images, but light on "How To".  I went to the author's website and saw examples of how he takes photos in drab conditions then artificially adds directional light that make the images look like paintings.  Not my cup of tea as I want my images to bear at least a passing resemblance to what I saw.
