I am a big fan of black and white photography. Not only i think of it as more classy than color photography but it also has taught me about contrast and helped me develop more patience in the darkroom. I thought I was a huge fan of color photography when I first started just because I was more attracted to the fade colors and the intensity created by playing with color, but little did I know that I was soon going to be seduced by Cindy Sherman's work. That's when I fell hard for black and white photography and basically decided that photography was what I wanted to do.
But really what makes black and white better than color? Or color better than black and white? I think its a personal choice on how you want to display your subject. But the emotion of black and whites is undeniable but that doesn't mean color is missing it.
I think its a fair tie.
