Newborn Photographer in Cypress, TX, Color vs Black & White
Soon after the inception of monochromatic photography in the early 1800’s, there were those who began playing around with color photography. Once color photography became standard, some still remained loyal to BW images. The question is, when is it appropriate to use one or the other.
So, I was recently asked if I prefer creating portraits in color or in black and white. Although most all of my images end up in color, there are times when choosing black and white (BW) will make better sense, especially as a newborn photographer and even more so as a maternity photographer.
Making a critical decision about whether to us color or BW requires a critical eye. The outcome will have an impact on how the viewer perceives the image. For instance, a highly saturated portrait may highlight a dramatic scheme and even bring about emotional feelings based on the colors. Blues may bring calmness, yellows might bring joy or excitement. However, a BW image uses shadows to accentuate depth and space. Colorless images are said to be timeless and are used many times in fine art photography.
When do I use one or the other? I like using color because it is modern and parents will appreciate the memories of their baby and family in colored textures. However, when I want to create an iconic image with the use of light, I will make it BW. These are meant to be either be framed, displayed as a collage on an accent wall or standing out on a side table. The end result is a portrait that will produce deep thought and emotion.
