Shades of Grey: Showcase of B&W Photography

Photography is such a vast field filled with so many amazing techniques and tricks for taking the world around us and stealing moments from it with often breathtaking results. One easy way for photographers to add emotion and impact to their captures is to strip them of color. B&W photography has such a knack for delivering such impactful pieces simply by taking them down to more basic levels and allowing the tone to be set in a much more subtle, yet evocative way. Today we take a look at some truly inspiring images that use this raw energy that a B&W composition can instill. The artists' work that we have turned our spotlight onto is devoid of colors, but in these stirring shades of grey you will find some powerful pieces speaking boldly to their viewers. We hope you enjoy.
