black & white is better. i already KNEW that...
i have been tweaking these photos i took last year of jack yarber for about the whole year.
jack was trying on different hats - it was in the evening - already dark outside, and he was doing his hat tricks in an interior hallway in his apartment...dimly lit, and of course, reflecting all the greens and yellows in the place, casting a pall on skin tones as if the lights were the deadly fluorescent variety. i have battled with those tones...and today, it hit me like 16 tons...that which i have known all my life...PICTURES ARE BETTER IN BLACK & WHITE.
with a little help from photoshop, i just eliminated the color, and instantly, i now love the pictures.
i hope jack does....
the hat trick set is posted on my portraits page, the female gaze.
