Black and White Photography

The ability to translate the colour-rich view you see in front of you day after day, and strip it of one of the most fundamental elements, poses not only a significant challenge but opens up endless opportunities to interpret the world, without the need to be literal or realistic. By abstracting away from colour, you already distance the viewer from the literal image and allow for the viewer to be more involved in the reading of the image. Black and white film photography is a true oasis of inspiration, and the ability to perform all of the steps by hand, yourself, from the exposure, through to developing the film, and on to printing the photograph, makes it even more of a true passion.
