I shoot almost entirely in b&w, but there are exceptions of course. I'd say 5% colour, 95% b+w. I started with my dad's M6 and he only shoots b+w so I'm heavily geared towards. Shooting in b+w challenges me, it makes me see the story I want to tell and not be distracted by colours, from say the subject's clothing or the background.

Thanks!

He's a stranger. I was going up the escalator and he was behind me so I just took a shot. didn't notice he smiled till I looked through the photos.

Really like your photos as well.

Wide open.

His glasses attracted me actually but saw him talking to his friends and he was quite animated. So I went up to him and took his photo. Didn't really know he 'posed' for me till I got home. I'm a happy man.

Got this in Sydney mate.


Watch your head.

good shot mate.

You seem to be pushing your blacks too low. And very much in need of context in your photos. Good try nonetheless. I apologise if I'm too critical, we are all learning.

IMO there should not be rules to street photography. The picture is just a medium to convey your message, so long your context is strong; who cares what orientation it's in. Hell, many of HCB's photos are out of focus.

I think your statement stems from many of the 'masters' work being in black and white, which sways us to adopting black & white. Compared to now, that was the only avenue that was available to them so it's only logical that they not adopt colour simply because they are used to black & white. I may be clutching at straws here but I don't believe in purist when it comes to any form of photography. Having said that, black & white is something else.

Gaze.
