When I shoot and edit I work in color or for a color print outcome. There are times when I will be shooting with the end goal being a black and white print. As my past clients know on the store front (were you place orders) you are able to see an image in black & white and/or sepia. So any print the client wants in black & white can easily be converted. Sometimes a client will order a print in black & white and I will be surprised. Not because they ordered a print but that they wanted a very colorful print in black & white. Take for example the the image above. As a color print it works for me. Everything I look for in a print.
This print was ordered in color but also the client ordered it as a black & white print. When I converted the print to black & white and placed the order I still liked the color version better. When the 11"x14" print (below) showed up I was very surprised how good it looked. The picture is a very good color print but as a black & white print it blew me away. Maybe it's one of those times when the customer is right. But it did help me remember the power of black & white images.
