Black and white photographs have been with us since the advent of photography. Even after the invention of color films, the beauty of black and white photographs remains unmatched. The elegance and class that black & white photographs portray, have forever been captivating. They bring out the hidden details and textures that their colored counterpart cannot do. They can add a mood and interest to even the most ordinary subject.

The thing I love about black & white photography is it enhances the subject & drama of an image. It’s part of the reason why it’s been so enduring.
When you remove the distractions color can present, you’re left with a sort of level paying field where the only thing that can stand out an make an impact – is the subject itself.
