We Shoot Differently When Choosing Black And WhiteMost photographers ask when should a photograph be converted to black and white. Rarely is the discussion around why a photograph should be black and white from the outset, and that’s fascinating. While the “when” and “why” are related, shooting in color and then wondering whether to convert the image employs a very different mindset from setting out and seeing the world in black and white, and then working within those confines. Parameters of a world without color forces you to see things differently, to stretch and work out your photographic eye muscles, and that in turn pushes you creatively (at least in my experience it has).
Well I agree that it is a good excercise for the eye to focus into find the meaning of what the picture is trying to share without the guidelines of colors (at least that what I just got from yours).
