#photography neditry
I work mostly (not exclusively, but mostly) in B&W. That’s a deliberate, but not particularly daring or radical, choice on my part. Lots of photographers work in B&W.
B&W appears to only be “controversial” on the Internet. “Why work in B&W when you could use color?” ask, over and over.
It’s like asking “why make still photos when you could make movies?” or “why make pictures when you could make 3D sculptures?” or “Why write books when you could make pictures?”
@mattblaze@federate.social As a non-photographer, I appreciate you spelling out how B&W works for your vision – I’m sure it feels straightforward for you but it helps me understand the medium better. I’m going to think about that next time I go to take a photo of something, or when I look at someone else’s photo!
