A thought when it comes to black and white<\/a>, and monochrome aesthetics in photography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you make photos as dark as possible<\/a>, and crush the blacks<\/a>, and make the contrast<\/a> the maximum, what we are doing is applying more black ink to our photos.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Like calligraphy<\/a>, we love the black ink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus when you’re composing and framing a photo, don’t include the bright<\/a> — optimize for the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, do not include anything that which is bright in your frame, especially in the corners of the frame when composing. Just get closer<\/a>. Stick with your wide-angle prime<\/a> lens, and just use your ‘foot zoom’ to get closer to your subject-matter, and fill the frame with that which you find interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill the frame with black<\/strong>. Our disdain for that which is *NOT* black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
