Capturing street photography in monochrome removes the distraction of color as a compositional element, allowing the viewer to focus on the raw interplay of light, gesture, and form. In black and white, the stories and faces of the street are distilled to their essence—human emotion, fleeting movement, and the subtle truths of everyday life.

Father and Son

Black And White Photography, Marcus, Photography

When roaming the streets doing Street Photography, my camera is always set to a high contrast monochrome profile. Not that I couldn’t convert the RAW files to black & white later on. But I love to see the scene and my composition in monochrome when I look through the viewfinder. And even when the eyes are “hunting” for stories of the streets to capture, I have black & white in mind. When I saw those two doing father and son things while sitting in a street café after nightfall, I saw the light and knew it would give me the perfect monochrome shot. Image specs were 1/13 sec @ f/5.6 and ISO 1600. Focal length was a 240mm full frame equivalent. Shot on an Olympus OM-D E-M1.
