B&W or Color?

Melissa Madden December 5, 2018

Yesterday I was asked by a client - how do you know when a photo should be B&W or color?

When we are shooting with film and the cameras are pre loaded with B&W or color film - you have to determine which camera to use when taking the photo. Sometimes you see the photo ahead of time in B&W or color. You have a vision for the photo being taken. But sometimes you know that a photo will look good both ways. And when its time to edit, you make this determination based on the feel, the moment and of course what just looks better. Some photos look so much better as B&W and others just need to be color. And some look good both ways.

This is one of those times.

The Palais Garnier Opera is one of my favorite spots in Paris. Oh the stories these walls hold. I think my kids disliked the "bathroom" stories the most (or lack of bathrooms). Every European capital has at least one gorgeous Opera house and the tours are always some of the best. #palaisgarnier #operadeparis #grandhall #chandelier #operaparis #opera #topparisphoto #dametraveler #parisjetaime #visitfrance #parismonamour #hello_france #visitparis #thisisparis #paris #sheisnotlost #sheexplores #igersfrance #besttour #traveldeeper #travelwithkids #parisfrance
Happy Valentine's Day to my everythings. I couldn't love these three anymore and then I do. @keithmpitts you are my best friend, you make me laugh every single day, you make me a better person and I love you more than you will ever know. To both my girls, you are the best kids a mom could ask for, you are wise beyond your years, funny, sassy, smart, silly, incredible travelers, empathetic and have huge hearts. Not sure what I did to deserve all of this but I am the happiest woman in the world! (Ps - Gabby drew the hearts 💕) #family #happyvalentines #myloves #familyphoto #familyphotographer #newyork #diner #nyclife #familylife #myheart #mywholeworld #mykids #traveldeeper #travelafar #familytravel #summertravels
There was something about the simplicity of this that I just adore. @keithmpitts always has a camera over his shoulder so as we were walking out of our @airbnb in Paris this summer this was the first thing we saw - and as usual - I asked Keith to "please take this picture". And his response is usually "why don't you have a camera with you?" He is my encourager and I love him for it! #francophiles #france #paris #courtyard #paris #paris_focus_on #parisjetaime #parigi #paysage #picoftheday #loves_paris #gardening #plants #simplethings #traveldeeper #airbnb #homegarden #travelstoke #travelphotos #travelaroundtheworld #travelpic #travelbug #travelbook #homestyling
Great time of day for a little impromptu portrait during a couple's session. The sun was brutal and we were under a walkway - love the profile and the shadow. #portrait #portraitphotographer #desert #sunny #shadow #sony #saguaronationalpark #outdoors #photography #fotografie #menportrait  #blackandwhite #exposure #menstyle #fineartportrait #beardmen
