As I'm shooting a wedding I can often tell whether the final image should be displayed as a color, or black, and white image. I often shoot knowing the shot will look better as either one, or the other. In the Old days of film shooting we would only deliver the best rendition of the image. Now I deliver both color, and black, and white for each image. Black, and white is great to draw people attention to the subject. No distracting red objects in the background. On the other hand a great sunset, fall colors, and the brides flowers all disappear on black, and white. So what should we do? Call me, and ask me which way you think the image is best presented. I think that is a better solution than only delivering one, or the other.
A few questions I ask myself when I'm choosing between black, and white, or color:
1. What is the thing my eye is drawn to?
2. Is this what you want to show.
3. Where will I display the image?
4. Does the the wall need the color?, or does it need a point of interest?
