Urban Cologne BW

Urban / Street / Black & white

Random assortment of images while strolling through Cologne.

Black and white photography is a timeless and classic genre that captures images using shades of gray, ranging from black to white, rather than in color. This style emphasizes contrast, texture, shape, and composition, often highlighting details that might be overlooked in color photographs. By stripping away the distraction of color, black and white photography can evoke a stronger emotional response and create a more dramatic or nostalgic mood. It has been used across various subjects, from portraits and landscapes to street scenes and abstract compositions, providing a distinct and powerful way to convey visual stories.
