Black and White as Photographic Language

Black And White Photography, Luminis Imago, Photography

In an article published on my blog, I explore why the black-and-white visual language is still relevant for photography in the contemporary era. In the article, you will also find a review of the relevant literature and a selection of images from major Italian photographers of the last century. Feedback and comments are welcome!

There are those moments when you just feel you have to take the shot. Like on this full moon night in Genoa last week. I woke up from the full moon blazing through our bedroom window. So I grabbed the iPhone 14 Pro and clicked. In the middle of the night. Another perfect moment for monochrome photography

More of my photography can be seen on my photography blog “Streets of Nuremberg
