I don’t make every photo black and white… and here’s the reasons why.
I don’t think every photo should be black and white. Every image has its own story to tell.. and colour is just as much a part of that story as the emotion is.
When I’m deciding which photos become black and white the first thing I’m looking at is the emotion. Stripping away the colour lets you focus on what really matters… how that moment felt right in that moment.
The second thing I look at is the light. Beautiful light gives black and white images so much depth and helps create something timeless.
I also use black and white to help tell your story. A gallery should have rhythm. It should make you slow down, feel something and relive the moments… not just quickly scroll through them.
And sometimes… a photo simply looks better in black and white. There’s no rule... some images just have a feeling that colour can’t quite capture.
So when you’re looking through your gallery, I hope your black and white photos make you pause for just a little longer. I hope they make you feel something… because those are often the moments we always want to remember.
