The beautiful @giopalmas82 for @equivalenzait - Question time: Color or black and white? When processing portraits, a major consideration is choosing between color or black and white. Many of the greats used black and white film, thus the “look” we are used to for the genre is often monochrome. However, rather than default to the usual, I prefer to ask myself about the story playing out in the photo: does color add or take away from the story?
