Monochrome Abstractions

Black and white photography is often viewed as a nostalgic predecessor to color imagery, but in truth, it serves as a powerful form of visual abstraction. By removing color, we’re invited to observe the world through the raw fundamentals of tone, form, and shape. This collection explores how the absence of color alters perception—flattening depth, enhancing contrast, and allowing the structure of a subject to take center stage. Each image was created with an intentional focus on the way light interacts with surfaces and how shadows and highlights can define space without the influence of hue. Through this exercise, I aimed to discover and highlight the quiet strength and visual drama that emerges when the distractions of color are stripped away.
