Why I LOve Black And White Photos

in #art7 years ago

Photography is a big hobby of mine and I really love taking photos in black and white. The reason for this is that you strip down the picture to the core. You take away all the distractions. Composition, hue, and subject matter becomes more apparent i think and you read the picture more in depth. What i also like is that it adds some mystery as you have the option to picture the photo in your mind the way you see it; "you can use your mind to add color to the photo and create the story you see".
This picture I took many years ago in Shanghai. Please tell me what you see in this picture and also let me know your view of black and white photography!

I am surprised by this little post and specially why is did not thought about it? "You take away all the distractions.

Thanks for you comment !

I love B&W myself, it looks so nice in a frame on the wall

You are right, also black and white never goes out of style! For this photo I made it in a dark room so this is something which can be fun with black and white. It's another level of accomplishment when the final picture appears

Old giving way for new... Great shot ☺️👍

Thank you very much my friend !
