Art Imitating Life

So why would you take black and white pictures instead of color? Why wouldn't you?

Black & White digital photos add emotion to a photograph by really bringing out shadows in the picture and highlighting their darkness.

In addition, since you lose the distraction of color, the viewer only focuses on the image.

So, if your subject is a little drab and lifeless, or if you just want to accentuate it, leave the color out to add a little art with black and white.
