As mentioned before, black and white has been said to have a more powerful effect on storytelling through photography. So why would we take photos in black and white?
These are some images in black and white that I feel tell a story:
- They are extremely versatile. This may sound silly, considering black and white images solely consist of two colors. However, there are endless shades of grey that make up a great variety of combinations.
- There are no distractions. Colors can often take the focus off of the subject and distract from the image's story. By taking the color out of a photo, you can let the image speak for itself. Its raw, and honest, and lets you see the true person.
