Many of my photos are in black and white. This is a different medium from colour. It is true that black and white looses some of the experience of ‘being there’ but it is about making a different kind of image. Without colour we get the subtlties of light and tone, exposure, range and contrast. It is in contrast that black and white images are distinctive and a fairly uninteresting scene can be given more character and allure. That said, some of the photos here will be kept in colour – sometimes this is essential to portray the scene and highlight its depth.
