I love Black and White photography. It has a simplicity. A defined contrast. Real impact. I love the element of nostalgia that black and white photos possess, the look of a bygone era. But I also love how the effect can be used to create a real contemporary photograph.
I've posted lots of black and white photographs from my family archives on this blog before. Photographs of my parents in their youth, portraits of me as a baby and photos of my dear old grandparents. However I've decided to use this week's prompt from Tara to show a modern interpretation of black and white photography.
For this week's entry to The Gallery I have chosen to use an image that my daughter Ella created. She is really keen on photography and enjoys playing around with photos using editing software. I love her creativity and think she really works the b & w look!! It goes to show that even with all the capabilities of modern technology, sometimes the old fashioned simplicity of black and white can create something really impressive.
Gosh I'm so fit. ;) XD HAHAHAHAHA. Black and white is so much better than colour. It just adds something beautiful. I love it. XD <3
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and you're beautiful! xxx
ReplyDeleteElla is very pretty- and these shots are very artistic! My sister is a similar age but a tiny bit older and also loves taking photos of herself as well. There are countless photos of her on the laptop posing and pouting! I said to my Mum I swear I didn't do the same when I was her age but she was looking through the loft the other day and found some of me and my friends doing the same! I guess teenagers never change- except mine were on film rather than digital! ;)

Ella is a beautiful girl and extremely gifted. Added to her talent at writing songs, singing and playing the guitar she now has the added genius of photography - where do her talents end I ask myself.
