Why and when is black and white your best choice

I love black and white images. They are so powereful and bring you right into what the artist is capturing at the moment.  In the old days we used black and white film but now with the birth of digital

any image can be changed to black and white.  How do you decide? Well here are some tips to help you with that descision.

You know when you have a family gathering and you want to get a portrait of everyone? Aunt Sara of course is waring hot pink and Uncle Ernie is waring plaid, the wall color isn’t helping and the baby stained his white shirt.  When you see your photos all the different colors and patterns are distracting. By turning your portrait to BW you immediately see more of the family and less of the clothes.  Here is a few examples of  color or black and white. You are the artist so take a second look at your work and decide for yourself which you like better. You can’t make a mistake you can only improve.
