OK, so not everyone appreciates black & white pictures but there is no denying that there is something very special about a good monochrome image.
Strangely, the removal of colour has the power to magically transform most (perhaps not every) picture and give it a sense of timelessness. Although the medium has never been "out of fashion" with photographers, its popularity seems to go from strength to strength with clients.
I recently had the pleasure of producing a complete set of monochrome prints for my customers, Billy & Susan Murray. I think it fair to say they were well chuffed with the results and have given me permission to reproduce a couple of my favourites for this post. To illustrate my point about the "timelessness" of monochrome prints, I have included the colour version of the same image for comparison.
See what you think? If you like monochrome, ask for it!
