The Emotions of Black and White Photography

Black and white photography has had a long, illustrious history. Of course, the first photographs had to be black and white, but it continues to be a great way to make evocative images, even though color photographs have become so realistic. Black and white images seem somehow more moody, as if the starkness of the black contrasting with the white highlights the importance of the image. Of course, the subject of the photograph has an immense impact on the emotional feel of the image.
