A good color picture is often a good black and white one too. This candid monochrome shot of a toddler eating focuses on the moment and the child's sweet expression.

About The Art of Black & White

When we decide to shoot in black and white, I look for lighting that creates strong contrasts—think harsh shadows or soft window light—rather than just removing color from an existing photo. If you are planning a session, ask me about 'monochrome-friendly' outfits before we start, as solid, textured fabrics without busy patterns work best to keep the focus entirely on your expressions.
