Color vs Black and White Street Photography

To color or black and white street photography?

Which interests you more?

Both are legit

I think it ultimately comes to:

What kind of vibes or mood do you want your photos to have?

My monochrome images tend to be simpler, more mysterious, and more unclear/blurry.

My color photos tend to be more clear, more “realistic”, and more about the visual play of colors.


Shoot both!

Don’t get suckered into thinking it is one or the other.

In life, don’t you wanna eat both meat and vegetables? In life, isn’t it good to drink both red and white wine?

Perhaps to maximally augment ourselves as photographer-artists, we must shoot BOTH color and black and white.
