B&w vs Colour

By *ikeC81 OP Man over a year ago

This is stimulated from a chat with a friend. I prefer b&w photos, to colour. Also I prefer taking them in b&w, as I think they offer more eroticisim to a scene

I also order taking photos in b&w in general.

I wonder what other people's thoughts are

I prefer colour, taken in soft lighting.

Black and white shows more detail, I prefer them to colour but also depends on the image too.

Depends what kind of mood I'm in..

Some of the colour filters I use add something different, depending on the light etc, but generally I prefer B&W

I prefer a clear colour pic so I can see exactly how someone look's.

B&W is such a simple photo filter to use to really class up a pic and make it look arty

I do like B&W photos

I've just recently taken a few b&w pics and like the effects. But I don't like taking my photo so don't mind either way x

I tend to use b&w when doing nightime shoots as they make the architecture I take pics of really pop and look way more atmospheric.

Im also a lovely of sepia but I will change the tone a bit rather than just the normal brownish tinge as this can get a bit too much.

Though if there is a gorgeous sunset or really popping colours I will take in standard mode and then i can play woth contrast and shadows.

I will only ever take the original image as it is as I hate using filters on software it never looks natural the only things I adjust are on my images are brightness, shadows, contrast etc.

Only time ive used editing software was for a few halloween pics!

Also im talking about proper images within my work not snapchat pics etc on phone.

I'm a fan of both but I prefer black and white. I think it's sexier and adds atmosphere. It depends on the subject of course.

There and to the left a bit

As most of my pics show B&W is my preference..as someone else said it's more forgiving!! Also think it enhances a pic somewhat.

I guess I just use what I feel will suit the picture better from an artistic eye.

But I guess I favour B&W pictures over coloured.

Just an air of mystery, class, sophistication of it...but that is just my opinion

Both.. But B&W are quite handy to hide some skin imperfections

Wherever the party is @

For me it depends what setting their in..if there's a lot of detail in the background then colour but if it's mainly of the person then colour. I like to have a variety of them

a quandary, could you change my mind?

I do like the mood black and white pictures can give, but I also like to see the colour version too.

I like both. Some look good in B & W but others - outside shots for example, I like to see in colour.

I like both. I've got a couple of black and white ones on here but most of the time, can't be arsed with faffing around with them. So what you see on my pics is what you get. I appreciate others great pics though and have seen some amazing shots on here.

I like both. If I'm wearing something colourful then I may go for full colour or a colour splash. If I'm wearing black I'll often go for black and white; I'm so pale it's often hard to tell anyway.

I look at some of mine in B&W sometimes but always prefer them in colour, I like the warmth of natural skin tones, monochrome looks so cold to me.

I like a splash of colour, enhancing something or increasing the contrast against a black and white image
