I’ve mentioned before how I only did black and white when I started with photography. Besides making me a little bit afraid of color photography, It also made me resent black and white. It’s like when your mom forces you to eat something, then you don’t want to eat it ever again. You know?
Well, that happened to me. However, little by little I’ve started to find love for B&W photography again and I wanted to share this image with you.
Even when I took it I imagined it in black and white. I also did a color version, but I love in in monochrome. I feel it really enhances her features and her beautiful freckles.
Some photos just work in color and some just work in black and white. I plan to write a little about this in the future, but I’m waiting until I have enough examples to explain myself.
How do you feel about color VS. black and white photography? Let me know, I’ll be happy to hear what you think!

Maif,
I tend to like B&W better than color. Color is often a distraction from the subjects that I shoot. My motto is “if it doesn’t add to the image, leave the color out.” Having said that, I know this is a personal choice and that color is the best choice for many images.

Hi, Tim! It is true sometimes color can be a distraction. Black and white photography sure brings something very special to an image! You have beautiful images 🙂
Thank you. I’ve enjoyed strolling through your blog and looking at your wonderful work. I’m looking forward to seeing more. I’ll be sure to comment.
Thank you so much, Tim! You have a wonderful blog as well 🙂
I love B&W!
That’s great! I’m starting to love it again!
And this is a good one Mafi. Welcome “home” again 🙂
It is good! Black and white has so much to offer 🙂
Very nice! Personally I never fell in love with color. Black and white has always been my ideal way to shoot.
I love black and white photography!
It is beautiful! It can have so much meaning ❤
