In the digital era, photographers are no longer limited by darkroom costs or film choice and the allure of Black & White is as strong as ever.
It’s been said that when we shoot someone in color we shoot their clothes, but when we shoot them in Black & White we capture their soul. When we eliminate color we are left with light, shadow and contrast: the heart of photography.
Use any and all apps in your app-bag to create monochrome and duotone images.
In the words of American photographer Robert Frank:
Joshua Auckenthaler MPA 2014 Black & White Winner“…Black and white are the true colors of photography. To me, they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” Photographer Robert Frank
