SUMMARY
Four years ago, a photographer began a year-long challenge to shoot exclusively in black and white, aiming to sharpen their eye for light, form, and composition. This experiment unexpectedly extended, with the photographer finding continued joy and artistic depth in monochrome. The practice has shifted their perception, allowing for a greater appreciation of moments without the compulsion to photograph them, and revealing a different dimension of reality where ordinary scenes become extraordinary through texture, shadow, and shape.
