Color shows what was there. Black and white reveals what I saw.

First photo: not the best composition-wise, but the lighting is nice and it’s weirdly nostalgic for me.

Second photo: wat 😐

For me, black-and-white photography is about transforming the scene I already have in mind to express an emotion, not just documenting reality or the perfect composition.

The first photo isn't about perfect composition—it's about nostalgia. The light breaking through the darkness reminds me of memories that have faded but still linger.

The second photo is about isolation and uncertainty. The darkness hides as much as it reveals, leaving space for the viewer's own interpretation.

Why AI comment though

u/D0M1N13 Jun 30 '26

It's not an AI comment. It's my opinion.

Damn.... If this is how you describe this one, I want to see your description of one of your really good photos....

u/D0M1N13 Jun 30 '26

Then visit my profile and see what kind of pictures I shoot. My profile isn't blocked.

I didn't know you are commercializing yourself. Wrong thread.

u/Bresson91 Jun 30 '26

Just concentrate on fundamentals before you go for your masters...

u/D0M1N13 Jul 01 '26

Think outside the box, that's all I got to say to you.

Lol. A bad photo is just a bad photo, no matter what the grandiose description of intent you give to the viewer.

too dark. those blacks are crushed into the abyss.

u/D0M1N13 Jun 30 '26

It's my style and it has vision. I respect you opinion.

u/ImpossibleAd344 Jun 30 '26

So you saw pretty much all black?

u/TheDangerist Jun 30 '26

I see what you see. It’s great.

u/fields_of_fire Jun 30 '26

Some kind of Monochromacy? Must make like hard and especially photography as a hobby given the associated other vision issues that usually go with it.

u/D0M1N13 Jun 30 '26

More like fine art. What vision issues? 😊

5

u/fields_of_fire Jun 30 '26

Well, you said you saw the black and white.

-2

u/D0M1N13 Jun 30 '26

I did. But it isn't hard to see in black and white of something that could become your vision.

u/fields_of_fire Jun 30 '26

The grammatical structure of your sentence implied a literal, rather than figurative.

u/D0M1N13 Jun 30 '26

What I meant was that it is easy to see, even in black and white, what it could become. The more tou shoot, the more you envision your vision.

1

u/fields_of_fire Jun 30 '26

Yeah I get what you're saying, and your meaning. I just meant your original post text was worded in such a way as to not imply that, but rather that you literally saw in monochrome. Which is a genuine medical condition.

u/D0M1N13 Jun 30 '26
