2022 - A Black & White Retrospective

At the end of every year I close out and archive our photo catalog for that year and prepare for the next year. When I was looking back through our shoots from this year, I realized we took a lot of great pictures that we never shared. We get lazy with sharing our work sometimes. Maybe I’m just getting old, and it feels more like a chore. Maybe I’m scared of what other photographers will think. Either way its time to put some stuff out there. To remind ourselves and our couples why we do what we do.

To me the heart of documentary photography is black and white photography. It strips out the color that can be a distraction and narrows your focus to the heart of the photo. It communicates emotion so much more effectively. When we deliver a gallery, probably 70-80% of the images are color. My favorites are almost always the black and white ones though.

So as I went through our galleries from this year, I decided to pick out a hand full of our favorite black and white images to share with you. Hope you enjoy as much as I do.
