I’ve always thought that black and white photographs simplify images and draw you deeper into the actual image depicted. This forces us to pay special attention to the underlying composition and significance of the subject being presented. I recently visited a gallery showing of historic images that mostly were sepias that seemed to add an additional weight to the images displayed.
