Black and white vs colour photography

By Ruth Smith


If you enjoy taking photos then you will certainly enjoy doing different things with them once they are developed or stored on your computer. The advances in photography have enabled everyone to create amazing images using the photos that you have taken. Canvas prints look fantastic and having one of your photos placed onto it looks good in any room in your house.

Both black and white and colour photos look great and you can use both in different situations to show your work off. A unique idea for you to use both types of images is with desk calendars as you can have some of the months in colour and others in black and white. There are benefits to both different types of images and you will find that certain photos look great in one style or the other.

Black and white photos are timeless and classic and can soften a photo to make it look calmer and if using on canvas prints then this might be the better option. Black and white photos can make a modern photo look old fashioned and improve certain images. You can create black and white photos very easily with a good photo program and you can add effects to make the photos look older than they are.

Although colour prints seem standard, they can look exceptionally good if you have taken a great photo. These would be perfect to create personalised desk calendars. These make excellent gifts for friends and family. You can create these gifts easily yourself or have them professionally made for you without leaving the comfort of your home. Whatever you decide, you will know that they are personal and are a result of your great work. Your friends and family will be unobservant not to compliment you on your fantastic photography skills!

You can have canvas prints made from any photo and deciding if it should be black and white or colour may be the difficult. You have to consider where you are going to hang the print and what else will be in the room with it. Choosing whether it should be colour or black and white is a decision which needs to be taken bearing in mind the other items so that the print looks stylish and not out of place. If you have a very simple room then black and white will look better than colour which can make the room look over the top.

Whatever style you decide on it will look fantastic and make your room or desk look great; having personalised items bring your photos to life and puts them on display. If you enjoy photography then you will love people to see your work and what better way than to have it made into canvas prints and hung on the walls. It is far cheaper than buying other pieces of artwork and is far more personal.
