Craig McCord Fine Art Photography
Why Black and White
One cannot deny that black and white fine art images have a certain quality and appeal. While I specialize mostly in black and white landscapes, I do on occasion photograph other subjects, if their structure, texture, or other features draw my attention. In short, if something catches my eye, and I am compelled to contemplate a scene from an artistic compositional perspective, it’s fair game.
Some considerations too are that black and white images are a departure from reality. One has more creative freedom once you remove color, which can actually be a distraction. And the timeless nature of black and white has a certain appeal. Visit my “About Page” to learn more about me and how my photographic journey has evolved.
My color work listed will be a result of previous or current work using film rather than digital. Most will have been captured using medium or large format cameras. This type of photography certainly slows one down and forces you to be more mindful of compositions and the whole creative process.
