Portraits in Black & White

Posted by Jürgen Novotny in Allgemein on April 21, 2017

While I prefer to realize my photo projects in (sometimes strong) colors – and I am particularly interested (in the sense of pop art) the interaction of colored structures on a minimalist and striking level, I am often engaged in photography in black and white. Why? Because of their simplicity and quietness.

Portraits in B&W

Lena by J. F. Novotny

B&W photographies can express a presence that can not found in color photos.

In my opinion, this is especially true for portraits.
