Black and white photography

                I believe that black and white photography is a very important way of shooting photo’s in the world of photography.  I can understand the controversy between shooting color photos vs. black and white photos, they are both very different styles. Someone may say that color captures the photo better but others may say that color takes away from the photo and makes it easier to focus on the entire thing rather than just one part of the photo because the whole picture is of even balance. I myself enjoy both types of photography however I tend to favor black and white photography over color. Black and white photography gives you the opportunity to make a bold statement, it limits out the color which gives you less distractions so that you can bring focus to the subject that you are trying to get viewers to focus on.  Another aspect that I enjoy about black and white photography is the quality that black and white gives to the overall image. Black and white photo’s look professional and look great in almost any lighting with many different subject matter, it also gives  the advantage to make the photo look old fashioned which personally is my favorite. 

                Years ago, black and white photography was the only type of photography that existed; there were no such things as photographs with color. Therefore I believe that we should always incorporate black and white photo’s into the today’s world because that’s truly were photography originated. Black and white photography is a great advantage that photographers have to make artistic and original photos that look professional.  I view black and white photography as a fantastic work of art.
