BLACK AND WHITE SHOULD BE MORE THAN AN AFTERTHOUGHT TO COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY

A mediocre picture becomes more alive when it is reduced to tones and design.

The soft, muted colors still work to make a soft, and lovely black and white. Contrast is the most important thing.

Color luminance is too similar for good B&W.

Adding a bit of contrast in the B&W gives this headshot more punch in monochrome than color.

This image works well in both color and black and white.
