Nature Photography Lights

Nature Photography Lights-Removing color from a photograph can add a lot to it; it can reveal details that would otherwise go unnoticed. Color, in some cases, may obscure the texture and form of the subjects, while black and white emphasizes the structure of the composition.

There are many ways in which the different colors turn into different grays, meaning that you can experience great light and dark richness when using black and white nature photography. While color may emphasize the shape of a subject, its black and white version may add a lot of character and feeling by highlighting its texture.

In black and white photography, the absence of light is as important as its presence. The profound shadows add depth and strength to an image. Photographers know how different colors, and lighting, react, and they use this knowledge to create impacting black and whites that deeply arouse, shock, inspire or relax.


Black and white photography allows you to see color in a different way. The artist detaches himself from the effects of color and brightness, and this lets him use color more effectively, to really provoke a strong emotion, one that can be translated into a space to create a special and intense mood.

Black and white photography may offer dramatic stone carving textures, wild active skies, or unusual atmospheres. Shadows are a basic part of a black and white composition, as the aim is to create contrast between light and dark, between what is known and what remains a mystery, between stillness and turbulence, only to find out in the end, that both are always there, as a part of life and its balance.

So, why use black and white photographs to decorate when you can use color?

Good black and white photographs enhance a space with the image's strong mood. Color can get in the way of the message you desire to convey when it is full of momentum, force, drama and beauty. Black and white makes color work better, under its shades and tones; you reach out to the viewers, showing them a side of nature they have yet to discover.
