With black-and-white photography, it’s not all black and white. It’s vintage but timeless, simple but dramatic and despite its limited palette, highly impactful.
By removing the distraction of colors and instead focusing on light, shadows and contrast, black-and white-photos can often feel more commanding and expressive.
Thank You for Participating! (Session Closed)
