Descriptive in different ways - I use the word ‘story’ very sparingly in relation to photography. It can make you sound pretentious especially when you don’t have a series of images that work together. These two images though show why I shoot both colour and B&W. Especially with a limited colour palette as this bottom image shows, the yellow gold can lift the image where absence of colour would not give the image the same appeal. It may not be the most striking image but it illustrates the point. And you can see why and how too much colour in an image can detract from your subject of the image as a whole. Which is why, in many instances, if not used judiciously, colour weakens your image. B&W just tells the story in a different way.
