Although black and white is often used for portraits or street photography, it is suitable for all types of photography. From landscapes and architecture to sport and macro photography, black and white can be used everywhere.
It is a technique that allows the photographer to reduce the subject to its essentials, with shape, light and dark, and contrast playing an extremely important role.
With black and white photography, it is even easier to create a coherent series or portfolio. Because colour schemes and temperatures do not play a role, photos of different subjects taken at different times can still have a uniform appearance.
