Black-and-white, often abbreviated B/W or B&W, is a term referring to a number of monochrome forms in visual arts. Most forms of visual technology start out in black and white, then slowly evolve into color as technology progresses. Even after color film was readily available, black-and-white photography continued to dominate for decades, due to its lower cost and its “classic” photographic look. Compared to colorful objects and lanscapes where catchy colors help the photo’s to stand out, in black-and-white photo’s the ability to stand out depends only on its ability to communicate rather than on its appealing visual presentation and beauty. Indeed, beautiful black and white photography doesn’t attract with its play of colors. Here close attention to composition, lighting, perspective and the context it is shot in are important. Here is a beautiful showcase of Black & White Fashion Photography by Andrea Klarin for your inspiration. ENJOY!!!
