40 Stunning Examples of Black and White Portrait Photography

Portrait photography is an art which gives us a chance to have a look through the photographer’s eyes. It could be a colored portrait or it might be a black and white portrait depending upon the choice of photographer. However in my point of view the black and white portraits give a deeper insight into the picture and reveal the unsaid more deeply than the colored portraits. What ever emotion is tried to be captured through the camera’s lens is enhanced when it is displayed in black and white print as it gives the feel of purity, reality and to some extent does definitely touch the soft corner of our hearts.

It is very strange that black and white portraiture photography has a strange attractive feature in it. Despite of missing all the colors black and white portrait photos gain the attention of the viewer with its own beauty. The good lighting effect and composition makes the viewer more impressed with the black and white portrait photography.
