Journey Into Self
HandsThe blue is the actual color of my desk chair. The original photo was taken in color...I put my body into grayscale.
I did this because I really like the contrasts revealed in black and white photography, it is both more stark and more forgiving.
Details are lost in color photography, there's simply too much information coming to the eye. Black and white strips all that away until you see only shape, form, negative space and raw emotion.
But I loved the color of the chair and the way it appears to glow in this photo, and I think it enhances the contrast.
