#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 same for me. In the end, each photographer chooses their own constraints/limitations that are appropriate for what they like or want to achieve with their images. I tend to steer away from all sorts of snobbism. I like black and white film photography. That works for me and I enjoy the process. Nevertheless, I like your digital work and I have found myself looking at the colorful portraits of Steve McCurry in amazement as well as for the work of other photographers working with color.
