It's interesting how sometimes technology or older art forms take on a greater value when they are made obsolete by a new and modern. This is certainly true of black and white photography. When color photography came on the scene, it seems the days of black and white in both video and photography are over forever.
But it is certainly not the case. Over the years we have seen the black and white take on a new artistic value in both genres. In fact, it is not strange to see a very modern movie filmed entirely in black and white. It is also common to visit the art museum and find photographic art display that uses black and white widely. Black and white has some artistic and emotional qualities that are not possible to achieve color photography.
Perhaps the strongest qualities which won the audience with a black and white photo is its emotional strength.

That is why black and white photos almost instantly take a look artistic. So if you are developing artistic style of photography and portfolio, including some experimentation with black and white will do a lot to improve your work.
Black and white also focuses the eye on the emotional center of the piece. Perhaps the best for black and white photographic subject is a human face.

Black and white almost always invites the viewer to want to know about the story behind the picture. If it's a landscape, "What happened here?" Is a question that often arises in the mind of the viewer and the longer they looked at the photos, the more their imagination fill in the details. If you look at the face of a girl who is quiet or melancholy, almost impossible not to wonder what he's dreaming about or what life issues weighing on his mind.
Along with the emotional power and black and white way to force visitors to search for meaning, black and white along with incredible strength heartfelt romantic in a powerful way. Romance that can easily translate into a sensual or even erotic without being pornographic to achieve that effect.

Digital cameras have ushered in a new era of black and white photography. You see the form used even in otherwise non artistic settings such as weddings or birthdays portfolio images. That's because the emotional strength and inherent romantic black and white.
