Photographing in black and white is a profound art. For four years, I exclusively shot black and white film on 4x5 view cameras, developing my craft in a personal darkroom. I believe a black and white image should sing with energy, its soul revealed through the interplay of contrast, shadows, highlights, and the subtle nuances of film grain. Each element becomes a tool, shaping the image's resonance, allowing it to convey emotions and narratives with a timeless and evocative power that color can't capture.
