Photos by Henning Bertram

Black and white

I am intrigued by black and white photography. I feel that it changes what I look for if I know at the time of taking a photo that I will want it to become black and white later. I look for shapes and shadows and forms, and perhaps something more abstract. At the same time, for me, black and white also has connotations of being “true photography” – but there is always the risk that it becomes too “artsy-fartsy”. I am not sure. But I like most of these.
