Question 2

Question:
When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white you photograph their souls!" Ted Grant
Do you agree or disagree?

I agree with this statement because when your photograph a person in color it's busy. You look at the color of the clothes their wearing, and maybe the color of their hair or eyes. But when the photo is in black and white, you can see the depth a person can have. You pay closer attention to their facial expression. Does the smile reach their eyes? Do they seem happy or sad? You can see the layers of expression their eyes hold. And their body stature. If they're comfortable and relaxed in the scene. Are they closed off.  Black and White brings in different meanings to the images. It's not about the clothes. It makes the viewer focus on the person.
