My theory:
With black and white, you gotta use your brain and imagination to ‘fill in the gaps’.
Color makes it too obvious what you are looking at. With monochrome, it is more mysterious.
Perhaps then to make more artistic photos, make it more abstract?
Art photography is about abstracting reality
