“Black and white images strip down the subject down to its main focus. It eliminates distractions, draws attention to specifics and creates a certain aura and ambience. It’s almost like it brings the true soul out of a photograph; something that can’t be captured when colour is added. That is not to say that colour photos don’t contain soul, far from it, but black and white images achieve a different level of character.”
