About Monochrome Portraits

Monochrome is about more than just removing color; it is a calculated choice in lighting and contrast. When I shoot these, I often use a single-light setup or natural backlighting to define the jawline and skin texture, treating your image like a piece of cinema rather than a simple digital file.
