Francesca chose black and white photography as the theme for her project because she felt the stark contrast between black and white enhances the subject matter and makes photos stand out more. Black and white photography allows viewers to see more details. For her photos, Francesca aimed to make people more aware of small details in everyday objects they may not normally notice by utilizing the contrasts of black and white. She also used her camera's macro feature to capture up-close black and white photos.
2. THEME- Black And White Photography
The theme I chose for my photography project is Black and white
photography. Black and white photography was originally rare and expensive
but it remained a niche market for photographers who use it for artistic
purposes.
The reason why I decided to base my project on black and white photography
was because I felt it was effective to use the contrast of the two colours in a
photo. The fact that they are opposite to each other on the colour wheel
actually makes the photo stand out. I feel the stark contrasts between the two
colours enhance the subject matter and whenever I look at a black and white
photo, I can see so much more detail. That is what I aimed to achieve when I
took photos of everyday objects; that my photos would make people more
aware of small little details that they don’t take notice of normally. I also
utilised the macro feature on my camera when I was taking an up-close photo
of something.
