I thought I would post a few images showing how color and black & white can affect an image. Below are three images taken of the same model to show how color affects the mood of a photo. I shot all three images in color and converted them to black & white to everyone can see how different the photo looks. You can always convert a color to black & white, but can not do the opposite. I occasionally shoot black & white in camera if I know that is the look I’m going for. Why? It will make for a better exposure, less time in editing and often a better black & white image. Black & White images are so classic and timeless to me. I love them, but often you need to have those vibrant colors to bring the image to life. Any hoo-hoo, here are some images for you to see and choose what you like better for yourself.
