Untitled

Does the black and white work with a bit of colour or is it a bit

too cheesey? More contrast? Any comments would be great as I

really irritated the official photographer by sneaking in for this

shot.

The colour adds nothing to a picture for the family album

Hi Kevin, I think the colour in a b&w shot is just a personal taste thing. I am generally not into it, but some people love it (I am told lots of clients do) so I guess your clients would tell you which way they fall, and so long as you don't do it to every photo it can be good. Here you have done it well - it just isn't my thing. It's otherwise a lovely shot. Not sure why the pro was so upset so long as you were staying out of his/her way & using a zoom & only taking a couple & not distracting the couples attention. Anyway - nice shot.

My friend really liked the mixture of B & W with the coloured flowers. I guess us photographers are artistic snobs!

 

Many thanks,

 

Kev
