Portraits
Black and white portrait photography shows subjects in a new light. A lack of colour instantly gives the viewer a new perspective on an image, emphasising all other factors — composition, texture, light, shadows, mood, and the subject itself.
Black and white photography can evoke a mood – from nostalgia to sadness to yearning, and convey emotion in a way that colour images simply can’t.
Weddings
Ted Grant said “When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls.”
Black and white wedding photography is a timeless and elegant choice that can add a touch of sophistication to your special day.
While colour captures the vibrancy of your wedding portraits, black and white images create a sense of drama, mood, and contrast that makes your wedding photographs truly stand out.
