I work in colour sometimes, but I guess the images I most connect to, historically speaking, are in black and white. I see more in black and white - I like the abstraction of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white... to highlight that contrast.
In the '70s, in Britain, if you were going to do serious photography, you were obliged to work in black-and-white. Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.
I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.
Black and white is abstract; color is not. Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.
I used to rely on black-and-white, and while I was working on 'Smile,' I learned to adapt to color on my end.
There's something really appealing about the simplicity of black-and-white images.
Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.
If I'm doing a logo, I'll do it in black and white. Once the form is feeling right, only then do I start exploring the color palettes. A good example was the process of rebranding the Salvador Dali Museum. I did at least 100 versions in black and white.
I'm trying to incorporate colour into my life. Until recently, everything in my closet was black, white, grey, navy or olive.
I prefer to work with grey characters rather than black and white.
