Following the Black Week spirit I’ve put together some amazing black & white photographs here to instigate your taste for ‘black’.
Personally I love black and white photos because they seem to capture the real scene of a picture without coloring it. Since they are not colored they give us the opportunity to concentrate at the image, the lighting, the context and the perspective of the scene.

“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize
the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever
subjected.”
