The black colour to European cultures is associated with funerals and mourning.
The black colour is also associated with elegance, sophistication and mystery.
Ancient Egyptians and Indians considered the black colour as the colour of life.
The Chinese see happiness in black colour and attribute the importance of youth.
I think and see in black and white, because there is no white without black, just as there is no good without bad. Black and white photography has its own magic.
Black and white photography is the art of capturing details and showing emotions. It allows you to see the atmosphere once you open yours eyes and allow yourselves to really see it.
In my opinion, the subtle play of feelings and emotions are only to be conveyed in black and white photography. And this is only because the lack of colors allows you to focus on them more. With two colors at our disposal, we focus on the gaze, facial expressions, rather than the background. We notice the details, nor the image as a whole.
It's all a matter of opening your eyes to really see it.
“Reality is more real when it is painted in black and white.”
