Black, whites, and greys

Color photography was tough to produce even once Kodachrome, a color film, was invented, plenty of photographers stuck to black and white, simply because they preferred it to color. Color itself can take away emphasis on contrast, texture, lighting, shape, and form. If you’re photographing a weathered man with a face full of wrinkles, black and white will highlight the texture of the wrinkles, the intensity of the man’s age. A color photo depicts the world as it really is – whereas black and white photos only show a version of reality, one that seems more interpretive and creative. Black and white photos almost always create a wonderful mood or in cases where the mood is already present, the B&W conversion makes it even more intense. Black and white photography has existed since the beginnings of photography, which means that a black and white image cannot instantly be dated.
