- Black and white simplifies an image, taking away colour that in itself can be very distracting, and as such is a good choice of working for student photographers.
- Black and white accentuates form, shape, texture, highlights and shadows.
- Can create interesting images from subjects and scenes that would potentially be dull in colour.
- When thinking of B&W, you find yourself paying more attention to contrast, tone, geometry and line.
Elements of design is about dissecting a scene into its constituent parts, and certainly in terms of the exercises it is about subordinating the subject to its geometry. With all this in mind, I thought that thinking in black and white, then converting my images to black in white in photoshop would be the best approach at this time.
