š§”BEST OF BOTH WORLDSš§”
I provide my clients with both black-and-white and my signature colour images because each version brings out unique elements in a moment, enhancing the storytelling in distinct ways. My love for black-and-white photography started back in college when I first learned about film photography and spent hours developing my own film. I loved the process ā the anticipation of working in the darkroom, the hands-on feel of each print, and the timeless quality that black-and-white images hold. That experience taught me that if an image is strong in colour, it should be just as powerful in black and white.
The magic lies in good lighting, which is what I focus on to create depth, emotion, and mood in every photo. Black and white brings out the rawness and intimacy of a moment, while colour can add layers and vibrancy to the story. Each format serves a purpose, capturing different dimensions of your day. By giving both versions, you get a full, nuanced view of the memories weāve captured together, allowing you to relive your day in more ways than one.
I do have plans to add a black-and-white film package to my arsenal too, so watch this space for you old school print lovers!
