About black and white photography

Black and white photography removes colour so shape, light and emotion lead. Fine art photography is made to be displayed and contemplated, like a painting. Many celebrated photographers printed their own work in the darkroom, treating each print as a finished artwork. Without colour, a photograph relies on contrast, texture and composition, which is why black and white feels timeless.

Styling this black and white photograph

The black-and-white colour scheme gives this black and white photograph a clear, confident presence. As a landscape piece, “Marc Riboud” fills the space above a desk at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a home office. In black and white, “Marc Riboud” works with any colour scheme; a slim black frame with a wide white mat gives it a gallery finish. For a gallery wall, pair “Marc Riboud” with two or three smaller black-and-white prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
