Minimalism

I also love to shoot black and white because of the minimalist aesthetic. I also feel that with
black and white, you are trying to spend less time being clever with color-combinations and
such. Rather, you are trying to capture raw emotion in the scene a gesture, a facial expression,
or a feeling that is hard to put into words.
On a practical sense, black and white is easier to post-process and print. There are fewer
variables, which means you spend less time post-processing your shots in Lightroom, and more
time actually going out and shooting.
Not only that, but the beauty of black and white is the limitations. But between the gradient of
white and black, there are a million tones of grey. Being able to extract the maximum creative
potential out of such a limited medium is something that excites me.
