Why Black and White Photography?
In my first blog post, I briefly touched on how I gradually evolved into a black-and-white-only photographer. In this post, I’d like to talk about what it is that keeps me coming back to black and white. The video I am sharing is from a few years ago. In it, I explain why I’m a black-and-white-only photographer as I work on my first zine project that focuses on trees as a black-and-white subject.
I’m sure for a lot of people, it makes absolutely no sense to limit one’s photographic expression to just black and white. And for most people, that probably wouldn’t be a great idea. Everyone is on their own unique photography journey. So much of what we do and how we do it is shaped by our own personal history. My past has brought me to where I am today, seeing monochrome.
