Some people might think that shooting your wedding in black and white means you would end up loosing a lot from the images themselves.
In actual fact, a world without colour forces you to view photographs very differently, in many cases it will make the images appear more dramatic or compositionally stronger and encourages the viewer to look deeper into the purpose and narrative of each photograph. You will see that clothing, colour differences in varying light sources, cars and colourful backgrounds have stopped taking the focus away. You see, colour can often be distracting.
This is one of the key reasons I prefer the black and white photograph. Without the distraction of colour, black and white can not only be compositionally stronger but this simpler, more digestible language also allows us to assess relationships between subjects and how this emotion is conveyed.
I love the pure emotion depicted in this set of images, put together whilst editing a new portfolio ready for post-covid!
