Last week we were in Prague (Old Town) for a few days, I don’t think the temperature got above -1°c. I intended to shoot mostly monotone (Black and White) for several reasons.
- The sky was always overcast and non-existent in any colour images.
- The Prague atmosphere and Monotone fit well together
- Low light just makes a black and white image moody
- I constantly shoot colour in the studio and wanted a total change
- I find that colours can be terribly distracting in some images and can take the focus away from your subject
- I wanted to shoot based on composition and contrast
- You can often turn a drab colour shot into a cool black and white.
- It’s classic and elegant, even romantic and special.
