The Dramatic Effects of Black andWhite Portrait Photography Black and white portrait photography is very popular because it  adds an air of elegance and drama to the images. Black and white  portraits impart rich and timeless appearance. Without the  hindrance of colors, the viewer focuses on other elements of the  photograph. The lack of color allows texture and form to become  more significant features of the portrait.
Air Of Nostalgia An uncluttered look and simplicity adds a polished look to the  portrait. Black and white portrait photography is an excellent way  to add a classic and romantic feel to your photographs. It adds an  air of nostalgia to portraits and evokes reminiscence of a time  prior to color photographs, when all portraits were black and  white.
An Artistic Form Of Expression There are a lot of people who consider black and white portrait  photography to be an artistic form of expression. They believe that  black and white portraits are more of a fine art than color portraits.  Black and white photographs contain a distinct sophistication,  summoning memories of a bygone era. They soften facial features  and capture the delicacy of shape and contour.
Heirloom Family Portraits It is often suggested that black and white portraits look best  displayed in silver, anything antique is especially effective.  Displaying new modern black and white portraits with heirloom  family portraits is an excellent way to incorporate the past with the  present for the preservation of the family’s heritage.
Black and White Portrait Photography is the Preference of Some Photographers Some photographers are so impressed by the beauty of black and  white photography that they specialize only in the photographing  of black and white photographs. Many of them believe that the  elegance and emotion of occasions like weddings are best  captured by the art of black and white portrait photography.
Symbolic Of Their Family’s Love Newborn baby/family portraits done in black and white can have  an exceptionally dramatic effect. A uniform background and  clothing color can focus attention on the baby and the family’s  loving gaze and embrace become a more impressive and  inspiring image, symbolic of their family’s love and devotion.
Traditional Film Processing Though some photographers still prefer traditional film processing,  most of them utilize modern digital cameras. Digital portrait  photography allows for greater versatility. The majority of black  and white portraits are originally shot in color. State of the art  technology can then be used to manipulate the photographs to  convert them to gray scale. Specialized software is used to erase  imperfections, lighten tones, and deepen shadows allowing for  flawless, exquisite black and white portraits.
