BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY
Black and white photography is primitive photography. It is considered to be more subtle and interpretive, and less realistic than colour photography. The tones and contrast between light and dark areas define black-and-white photography. Monochrome images are not direct renditions of their subjects but are abstractions from reality, representing colours in shades of grey.
About photography
Monochrome photography is photography where each position on an image can record and show a different amount of light, but not a different hue. It includes all forms of black-and-white photography, which produce images containing shades of neutral grey ranging from black to white Other hues besides grey, such as sepia, cyan, blue, or brown can also be used in monochrome photography. In the contemporary world, monochrome photography is mostly used for artistic purposes and certain technical imaging applications, rather than for visually accurate reproduction of scenes.
The photographs I have chosen are three taken in London, two in Bangkok and one in Sri Lanka.
