Why Black + White?
People ask me, “Why did you choose to make those pictures black and white?”
It’s a good question.
For me, some of the most colourful photos I have ever taken are technically colourless.
Something really interesting happens when you consciously remove things from the frame.
I can feel and see clearer when there is less.
I can connect with a human in a deep and more intimate way.
Everything is amplified, including the essence of their soul.
I fell in love with portrait photography through black and white photos and to this day they are my favourite way to capture portraits.
I still love colour photography, but black and white will always be my first and deepest love.
Huge thank you to Jordan Lindo for saying yes to being apart of my SoftMen portrait series. Love you brother!
