Photograph by : Michael Magill
Now-a-days, Black and White photograph is nothing more
than a color image applied with some photographic effects. But still it is a
stunning and rewarding art even for novice photographers. Sometimes the photo
which is just ignorable will surprise you when converted to black and white while
sometimes a great colorful photo may convert to a horrible work of art due to
black and white effect. It gives freedom to explore a whole new aspect of
object. The object which you never found so much interesting may become a
matter of beauty when captured in grays.
So what is so special, the magical thing that works in black and white
photographs? Well, i don't know. But still they look stunning and soulful. And when
adorned by beautiful picture frames they become truly a soulful piece of
art.
