BLACK & WHITE & MONOCHROME

 

​

I am grateful to have been exposed early in life to some of the greatest analog photographers of their time. Stieglitz, Bourke-White, Cartier-Bresson, Capa, Adams, Weston, Frank, Mapplethorpe, Winogrand, and many others instilled in me a passion for photography providing an uncolored portrait of life as it was seen through the intimate lens of their time.

​

Ted Grant is quoted as saying, “When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black & White, you photograph their souls!”

​

I agree to some extent with his sentiment; not all subjects are candidates for removing color and replacing them with shades of neutral greys to black. Those that do can arguably offer a clearer insight into what the photographer wanted to capture. The images featured, in my opinion, create that “intimacy”.
