Black and white Photography

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!” 
― Ted Grant

Whatever the technology is blooming day by day, Black and white photographs makes the feel of life where the others are focus on colors. The life inside the photographs can be identified sooner when the picture colors are black and white.

We see and live in a world of color. That's how we've evolved, and it's the world that we know. Naturally, people gravitate to color photography like a kid to candy, attracted to images that pop with Disney-like vibrancy. Our affinity for color even can show up in our speech. We use the word "colorless" to describe a thing or an experience that's dull, tedious or boring. So, why shoot black-and-white when today's digital darkroom technology makes color management so easy?

Black-and-white is timeless, but more than that, it transcends reality and transforms an image into a realm that isn't abstraction, but isn't reality either. A black-and-white image deconstructs a scene and reduces it to its forms and tones. Distracting colors are recast as subtle shades of gray that add to a composition—at least if the image has what it takes to be rendered in black-and-white.
