My Black-And-White Catography Reveals Their Hypnotizing Beauty

371

ADVERTISEMENT

I usually take coloured pictures, but I’ve recently got fascinated with black and white photography. I was a little bit afraid that cats don’t look special without their colours (although – don’t they always look special?). I hope that I avoided this and you can focus on the cat and its catness.

I would like to invite you to spend few minutes with my black and white catography.

    I absolutely adore the black cat sitting on the books meowin' away! You've really managed to capture the spirit of each cat - and you didn't need any color to do it! Beautiful work.

    Beautiful! I believe the black-and-white photography enhances their "cat-ness;" it takes away all the distractions and focuses on the elegance of the subjects.

    That last one makes me think they are going into battle, or maybe just a deep heart to heart talk.

    you would bring your wonderful artist's eye to any subject, and it definitely there in how you see patterns and shapes as you shoot... your mind must be very good at editing out the color you see.

    Beautiful! I'd like to know What kind of camera you use and photo retouching program (if you do retouch your pictures, of course)

    I use Canon 6D mostly with Canon 85mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8. I retouch pictures in LightRoom and PhotoShop.

    Amazing photographs. I love black and white! Why are their kitties outside? Do they have a protected enclosed run?

    Cats outside are homeless cats. Pictures of cats outside are part of my report on homeless cats. If you want to see more, please take a look at whole album https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.426282074244803.1073741883.237501646456181&type=3

    You understand that the magic of black and white photography is the use of light. I'd like to take credit for that knowledge but I learned it from Nancy Safford who's book Times Island is in black and white.
