Beautiful black and white photos

Compared to colorful designs where catchy colors help the design to stand out, in black-and-white designs the ability to stand out depends only on its ability to communicate rather than on its appealing visual presentation.

Indeed, beautiful black and white photography doesn’t attract with its play of colors. Here close attention to composition, lighting, perspective and the context it is shot in are important. Hence, before considering the photos presented below please prepare some patience and time. This post presents some truly excellent examples of beautiful black-and-white photography.

so ...what you think?

Notice: this post isn’t supposed to showcase the best black-and-white-photos of world’s best photographers; please see it as a modest attempt to inspire designers for experimenting with black and white instead of using a variety of vibrant colors all the time. Hopefully, everybody will find something interesting and unusual for herself or himself.

Sooooo Beautiful…………………!!!!!

The middle picture has something disturbed. A pale china face, carmine lips, pale-blu doll eyes, a color tension between blu and carmine, cold tile and grime on a floor at the background -- it's all something strange and anxious... like my subconsciousness... ;-)); ▶ Reply to This
