Our Finest Selection of Photos in Black and White

Despite technological progress, black-and-white art photography and black-and-white portraiture in particular are still a contemporary mode of artistic expression, a safe bet that remains timelessly chic. Black-and-white photography is remarkably poetic, allowing the subject to be sublimated while adding depth.

Stripped of its colours, a portrait in black and white or the photograph of a woman in black and white orients the spectator towards a more artistic vision of photography, showcasing the body and the grain of the model’s skin. Beyond portraiture,landscapes in black and white, are also captured by the camera. 

These black-and-white images allow a unique setting to be expressed and venture beyond the borders of our imagination.

Our Major Photographers: Specialists in Black and White

While colour photography remains faithful to the reality of an instant, black and white gives the spectator the possibility of making their own interpretation. The representation of photos of animals in black and white is continually reworked by our artists from different angles, so as to create landscape photos that evolve with their era.

This is incidentally what motivated several major artists like Laurent Baheux, specialising in black & white photographs of animals, or Ruslan Bolgov and Lee Jeffries, famous for their black-and-white portraiture series, to develop this practice.

These artistic photographs in black and white are timeless, their monochrome aspect brings out contrasts by working on subtle shading, thus highlighting the subject of the photograph. Today, black-and-white photography and particularly black-and-white portraiture has become an indispensable element of interior decoration, as its timeless finish blends in perfectly with all kinds of interiors, whether modern or traditional.
