The Art of Black and White

Black and white is timeless, and I believe that is the appeal.  You aren't drawn to the clothing so much, but to the subjects. And one of my favorite things about black and white? It looks great in every room, no matter what colors the subjects were wearing!

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!” 
― Ted Grant

But there are techniques involved to make an image appear exactly as you want it to, whether it is color or black and white.  Sometimes you want a soft look, while other times you want a stark contrast, and the options are truly limitless, even in black and white.
