Cities in Black and White

People don’t look at life in black and white, but rather in colour. Great photography is about capturing a place that everyone has seen in such a way that forces others to see it differently, and black-and-white images allow us to use our imagination to fill in the blanks.

Colour can easily date a picture, but there is a quality about black and white that transcends time and leaves an indelible imprint on our subconscious. But to shoot in black and white, a photographer must understand things such as lighting, tone and composition.
