In 2020 I decided to photograph everything in Black & White. It was a challenge I gave myself to learn more about Black & White Photography and discover what it means to me and my photography going forward. In this video I want to share my experience and the lessons I learned.

Quotes I found interesting:
"When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes, but when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls". - Ted Grant
“Colors are assumed” - Unknown
“When other photographers ask me when do I decide to photograph in B&W or color I always say when I see beautiful color, I take a color photograph, when I don’t see interesting color I shoot in B&W. B&W is for interesting light, color for interesting color”. - Mikio Hasui

Done. Been watching your channel since your X-H1 review, partly why I now have two of 'em. I laughed when you mentioned the Leica Monochrom commercial being shot in Acros on a Fuji :-D More seriously however, your Covid and BLM protest pics are epic. Truly an historical document. Keep up the good work!

Color vs.black & white. I choose B&W ~ 75% of the time. I’m near 70 and that is what I grew up with. Color was always more expensive. I mostly use Fuji cameras and use a B&W jpeg film simulation with RGY filter simulations. I have a button that will change the film simulation to color for a quick change. The advantage of using the film simulations is since the camera is mirrorless, I see the image in the EVF or LCD the way the film simulation is set up. Very handy to see in B&W before I press the shutter. Can’t understand why in the 60’s onward professionals most used B&W. It wasn’t considered artistic if the image was in color. People like Saul Leiter were using color film but by and large didn’t share their work.How silly. It is all about how you see the world. You showed how the traffic cones change in nature based whether you use color or not. Sometimes the subject IS the color. When I shoot in B&W I like,to underexposed the image by about half a stop. I like strong contrast and crushing the blacks. When B&W is normally or over exposed the blacks turn into grays. I don’t like that look. The Ricoh GRs have a film sim that gives me the crushed blacks I like. Of course now we use digital cameras. We have a 2nd choice as to whether use B&W or color. Shoot both! Use a B&W jpeg simulation and also shoot raw. The raw file can be your color negative. This way you have the best of both worlds. The thing is to take and make images. We aren’t using film. We aren’t limited by the film we have in the camera. We aren’t limited to 20 or 36 images in a roll of film. We don’t have to wait or pay for the film to be developed to see what our images look like. I like and appreciate your year of shooting in black and white. The value of shooting this way was clearly expressed in your video with Sean Tucker. Please hyperlink to that video as you did mention it in this video. Ricoh. Fuji. Leica. You are a man of several flavors. Mask on Nurse Marty

This is wonderful Sam, and thought provoking. I can’t remember where I first heard it, but somewhere I picked up the notion that you should get comfortable with black and white so that when you use colour you do so with intention because it has something to add; it has purpose. I lack the skills to help with your book, but I’m buying a copy for sure.

I started shooting in 1959 while serving in the Army stationed in Munich. All we shot was B&W as we couldn't afford color. I went on to shoot while serving in Vietnam, using what ever film I could find. Later I shot for two newspapers and that again was always in B&W. So for over 40 years I shot with film and never in color. Then digital happened and I played some with color and Brides wanted their weddings shot in color. Now I own a FujiFilm Pro 2 and I shoot with three film simulations two B&W and one color. I really see in B&W.

Great video Samuel. For me as an 'old' hobby photographer born the same year as Aleksey Myakishev it is immediately clear what Chris explains: with BW you have to compose in contrasts, not in colour. It is a different way of view. You can see Chris is from a digital era and has a hard time discovering and describing it, as we are overflooded with colour nowadays and can even pimp the images with software to be more colourful than usual.

Some people say there were no good photo opportunities during last two years in the ongoing pandemic, but in fact there will be no other time in one's lifetime like this. I took street photos of the empty streets for what it was and couldn't before with all the busy people walking around. And when there was one person walking into my frame, it was only one person. B&W was great for the past two years as for me it represented real life with all its color sucked out; everyone was so gloomy it just worked with B&W.

Hélène Binet gave an explanation that physically, the eyes receive b&w with different sensors than colour, the eye rods that read b&w are responsible for analysis of form and that happens a faster than the reading colour. She wasn't so convinced entirely but wondered about it. She shoots predominately b&w but also some colour

I’m working on a “feet/shoes” project now, & shooting only square & b/w. Not sure how it’ll turn out, but it’s an interesting project, nonetheless. I really appreciate your video on the subject.

The best way to shoot i raw so in postprocessing you will decide to go in color or in black&white. If the photography is art then you can decide what color (read between the lines, use color or just tones of b&w) you will apply to the art depending on the destructions, depending on the composition, depending on the story. Use the color or tones to express your self, it is not a sin to go b&w in post or vise verse.

'A Year Without Color' is, I think, a very fitting title. I can imagine an art class pondering in great depth the genius of the author's juxtaposition of the hopelessness of the pandamic with the subject matter of the book; creating a family, a home, adventure and new beginnings. It's funny how these things come together.

Thankyou a truly stimulating film…I thought your choices of music worked really well on your montages..During lock down I spent hours walking ( for exercise) around the same streets etc… so I decided to make a photo book, just for myself, of “details” that were there on the street , butI never looked at them carefully before, I started with Front doors, then moved to Door bells, knockers , chimneys, discarded masks… many different details…and distilled the best in to “sets” .I am proud of the book and friends have found it one of the most interesting they have seen! Projects are a great way of working! Thanks again for all the work you put in.

Loved this video, Sam! My teacher used to say that if the color doesn’t help your subject to stand out from the background or doesn’t add to a story - choose b&w. Also I’m not sure if it’s true , but somewhere I’ve read that we dream in black and white and our brain ads colors afterwards. The thought of it is very appealing. The images that you made of your family are very touching, especially of your grandfather. Reminded me that I yet have to make a successful portrait of my mom. Thank you for the video.

I just watched this video AFTER watching your video where you're selling your Q2. I started shooting with black and white film and went with color (mostly) once digital came about. I always loved b&w and am about to drop big bucks on the Q2 monochrome. Even though you thought the Q2 didn't work for you I'm even more convinced that purchasing the monochrome is a good move for my final camera stable. I'm keeping what you said in mind but I think I can overlook the 7 things you hated about the Q2. Thanks for this.
@brusselssprout1
@brusselssprout1 2 года назад
Fantastically honest and thoughtful video. Thanks. I guess most photographers have at some point pondered the monochrome vs colour quandary. For me, monochrome preserves some sort of esthetical continuity with the first photographs and all those decades when colour (or quality colour) was not a practical option. Choosing monochrome in 2022 can feel contrived. It might at times be nothing more than a gimmick, an Instagram "effect filter" or even a poor trick to hide defects such as wonky white balance or badly mixed light sources or try to pass noise as "grain". But then, when you take a step back, look for the play between shapes and shadows, focus on an expression, link together the elements of a composition, you realise that monochrome provides much more "formality", in all senses of the word, and that you might end up with a useful picture, which, for me, is a picture that gets the viewer to spend more than a nanosecond looking at it and interpreting it. In that context and with that ambition, I agree with you that it is best to never see the colour version of the file and not to have the option to revert to colour in post processing. No second guessing, no safety net. For that reason, I purchased a Q2 Monochrom back in February and am still fighting with myself to use it productively and to improve my skills and my ability to find an original creative vision. Slow progress, but I hope I'll get there. It is exactly the same as loading a 35mm film camera with HP5, except that you can reach the tonal quality and detail of large format scans. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your journey. Really made me think.

Great video! I always love black and white and the feeling of it. We are lucky today to have choice between color and B&W. What I love is that you can tell two different stories/emotions, just by changing between color and B&W. Like a sort of alternate reality of the same image. I sometimes think I miss something if I don't have the color and the B&W of the same picture...

Seeing you stand in the foggy fields with your hands together like that made me think I was watching a BBC documentary ! But no a more serious note, I think you've just inspired me to shoot B&W in 2022.

Excellent to finally get your perspective on the matter! I definitely like black and white to "freeze" people and their expressions/interactions (loved the shots of your grandfathers!) while colour can be more descriptive in terms of mood (of course it can be critical like your example with flags).

91.7 thousand fellow photographers absolutely love you. 📷👏 such an awesome creator of vids and photos. My love of black and white may be due to my colour deficiency... they calm it colour blindness... it really isn't blindness.. more confusion and deficiency. I think asking the question why anyone loves a black and white image over the same colour image is too complex. Its like asking why you love a person over another person. Its an emotional state from the heart. Best wishes Samuel. Thank you for all your content and great input into our photography lives. 🙂😎🙏🖐

Hi Sam, I just got to watch this video you made which you posted a long time ago. But I have seen your other latest videos and the GR adventure. I really appreciate how you were able to distinguish your preference between B&W and Color. Currently, I'm still in love with both and use them instinctively as well. But sharing your insights have provided me a better guideline on how I would approach my future photos without being in a state of dilemma on which one to choose. Thank you and GOD bless you as well.
