MAGIC OF MONO 7 CREATIVE CONCEPTS FOR STRIKING ARCHITECTURAL IMAGES

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.

1 RESEARCH

Research plays a big role in any photography journey, and it’s just as important when you’re exploring architecture. Key is to start by first understanding what elements to focus on and how to spot them.

Modern architectural designs are rich with details perfect for this style of photography. Typically, modern architecture lends itself to black and white, with its shapes, textures, and play of light and shadow.
