Why Black and White Photography is Better than Color Photography

Simple reasons:

1. Longevity (monochrome photos will last longer than color)
2. Simpler (focus on shapes, forms, and tones)
3. RICOH GR III already makes the best high-contrast JPEG photos (high contrast monochrome). iPhone Pro in Noir also looks fantastic
4. Simpler is better.
