This is both a color and BW version of the same image, an image of a

woman named "Nicole" who I interviewed and took imagery of as part

of my documentary photojournalism project "Women of the Sex

Trades". "Nicole" spent time working on web sex act streaming and as

an alcoholic, wasn't sure if she drank to cope with it or whether she did

it to get the money to drink.

The goal of the project is to show real women and how their work in the

sex industry has affected them.

I can't decide on this image which one I like better. Color or BW? Your

thoughts appreciated...

I prefer the "colour" one, but maybe for your work the BW one would add a little drama?

In this set, based on the pose and the background, I prefer the black and white image. In your second set of the same person, based on the pose and the background, I prefer the color image. That is just my opinion. hope it helps. Jerry

In my opinion the colour one is more aesthetic and for some strange reason (because B&W usually adds drama, as suggested by Stéphanie) the colour image generates more emotions in me. Good luck for your choice!
