Stories, written by landscape photographer Johan Peijnenburg, about photographing in black & white. Black & white photographs are photographs that only use shades of grey. As a result, there are no colour distractions. Monochromatic photography is an alternative name for this genre. Make sure to check out our Black & White Photography portfolio to see a large collection of black and white photographs.
