The world is a beautiful tapestry of colours, where nature’s wonders are displayed through lush landscapes and fluffy clouds. However, far from this appealing and colourful landscape, a different kind of opportunity can be found in urban landscapes of concrete and steel. And, when you combine this with black and white photography, it can bring an entirely different feel to these locations that many of us live in.
It took me years of experimenting and learning about photography, and dealing with colour, before I truly grasped the creative potential of black and white.
Over time I’ve reevaluated how I approach photography, colour, and design, leading me to embrace a new path, and today I specialise in black and white architectural photography.
So, if you’re needing a fresh spark or inspiration for your own photography, here are some practical steps to help you delve into the creative world of bw architectural imagery.
