Strip away the color and you strip away the noise.
Black and white is not just a style. It is a decision.
'One I make deliberately, because it forces a different kind of seeing.
When color is gone, the eye has to work harder. Light and shadow become the only language. Composition either carries the frame or it doesn't. There is no warmth of a sunset, no richness of a red coat to compensate for a weak moment.
This is why the pictures that stay with people are so often black and white. Without color there is nowhere to hide.
I choose it because it makes me see more drastically.
The contrast between light and dark, the geometry of a street, the weight of a face. Color is information, but it is also noise. Remove it and what remains is the thing itself. The subject, undistracted. The moment, irreversible, fixed in silver.
