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!

    I very much enjoyed your article, and in particular loved the B&W as Documentary (Exit from the Shipyards is excellent). I also agree but don’t always follow through about B&W being more than just devoid of color, but planned and visualized before looking into the view finder.
