Black and white photos can cause great impact, inspire a nostalgic feeling or create an environment of intimacy or intimidation. Whatever the intent behind the monochromatic tones, black and white photography is the center of this project.
Black and white photography has been around before colored photography. It evokes feelings of nostalgia, hard truth and reality transcendence. The black and white medium is taken more serious in documentary photography, at the same time it provides an environment of surrealism as we know the world isn’t in grayscale, it is full of color and life. The black and white incites curiosity and wonder and that’s what I want to explore: the curious places our minds go when color is removed from the equation.
I will explore five movements (themes) and publish photos from each movement from November 2021.
