Black and White Photography

 

 

 

A number of the most striking picture in history have been captured using black and white rather than colour film. Subjects suited by black and white are as follows.

81. Stormy weather shots are often captured in a more dramatic way using black and white film.

82. Black and white can make elderly people look even older.

83. Some landscape shots. Obviously if you are trying to capture the vivid colours of a landscape then black and white is not the medium to use, but if you are trying to portray a sense of desolation or isolation then black and white can increase the impact.

84. Dilapidated buildings and run down areas of a town or city can appear more striking in black and white.

85. Use black and white film in conjunction with coloured filters for a variety of differing effects.
