Recently, I've been practicing in creating black & white photos. In this series of photos I put more emphasis to the lines and forms of the subject that I’m shooting.
One thing I noticed about the pictures without colors is that the lines and shades become the prominent asset.
The subject of my photography is a cluster of buildings that is located at the Harbourfront area, which is also near the Keppel bay.
The images were actually shot in a bad lighting condition, it lacks contrast mainly because it was shot in mid afternoon and the building don’t have much colors to begin with.
What I realize is that when it was turned to black and white, the poor lighting can be resolved by fine tuning the image contrast without creating weird color effects on the image.
Without the colors, the picture is much easier to edit (Adobe Lightroom) since I only need to think about the lighting and the shading in it.
