Beautiful Black and White Photography
June 9th, 2008 in Monday Inspiration | 207 Comments
If you’ve been following Smashing Magazine for a while, you know that almost all posts from the Monday Inspiration series are pretty colorful and eye-catching. This post is an exception. Compared to colorful designs where catchy colors help the design to stand out, in black-and-white designs the ability to stand out depends only on its ability to communicate rather than on its appealing visual presentation.
Indeed, beautiful black and white photography doesn’t attract with its play of colors. Here close attention to composition, lighting, perspective and the context it is shot in are important. Hence, before considering the photos presented below please prepare some patience and time. This post presents some truly excellent examples of beautiful black-and-white photography.
Notice: this post isn’t supposed to showcase the best black-and-white-photos of world’s best photographers; please see it as a modest attempt to inspire designers for experimenting with black and white instead of using a variety of vibrant colors all the time. Hopefully, everybody will find something interesting and unusual for herself or himself.

Beautiful Black-And-White-Photography
Toni Frissell
In her legendary photos Toni Frissell impresses with a strong trend toward surrealism or realism. The photo presented below, although in black and white, is both extremely sharp and clear. To achieve such level of clarity in black and white is extremely hard.
Alin Ciortea
Alin Ciortea presents examples of modern street photography. In black and white, of course.
Birds
Unfortunately, the photographer is unknown. The photo seems to be taken at exact the right moment from exactly the right angle with a perfect lighting. Black and white can be powerful as well.
Sally Mann
This photo, titled Candy Cigarette, not just displays something, it tells a story. It is both emotional and beautiful. This is what the originality of black-and-white-photography is all about.
Larry Towell
This shot was taken in El Salvador. Child with star mask during “Day Of The Dead”. Other child in background rolls tire for repair in garage where he works at an adult’s job. The photo is full of tiredness and stubbornness. Simple motif conveying strong emotions.
Aneta Kowalczyk
Aneta Kowalczyk specializes in portrait photography. Some of her photos are provoking, some are strange and some are extremely beautiful. The example below displays the beautiful side of black and white photography.
Nick Brandt
Nick Brandt is a renown animal photographer which has become famous with his book of photographs, “On This Earth”, which was published in October 2005.
Gary Winogrand
Taking a shot just at the right moment.
Larry Louie
Woman Of Tibet. Realism at its best. Awarded with International Photography Awards in 2007.
Gabriele Caretti
Tour Eiffel: extraordinary contrast and perspective. Strong, clean and very precise shot.
Ghost Town Charm
Excellent lighting.
Ansel Adams
One of the most famous contemporary black and white photographers. Classic!
Maurizio Polese
Polese’s works pay close attention to small, tiny details. The tones are perfects and compositions are beautiful which is why the photos are presented in this post. Notice the sharp contrast and the lighting at the first image below and the sharp pathway leading to the light in the second one.
Top 10 Wired.com Reader Black-and-White Photos
Ten extraordinary black and white photographs sent to the Wired.com editorial by its readers.

Patrick Figaj
Ceremony.
Jack Radcliffe
Alison’s life in black and white photos. The significance of these pictures emerges in retrospect. “When my daughter Alison was born, in the tradition of a new parent, I began to photograph her, initially in a separate and private body of work. However, in the process of documenting Alison’s growth, I developed a passionate interest in human relationships and capturing intimate moments in the lives of family and friends.”
Arndt Laude
Alignment. Sometiems all it takes is to be at the right place in the right moment and take a shot under the right angle. That’s what happened here.
Ralph Gibson
Staircase is an example of Gibson’s high-contrast, minimalist black and white compositions have influenced a generation of photographers. By isolating the essential elements of a scene, his pictures show a style that is unique and immediately recognizable. [via]
Elliott Erwitt
Erwitt, an advertising and journalistic photographer known for his black and white candid shots of ironic and absurd situations within everyday settings — the master of the “indecisive moment”.
Roy Mckeown
Snowy Sheep.
Van Shnooken Raggen
Two Warehouses.
Rodney Smith
Rodney Smith has his own understanding of professional black-and-white-photography. Unusual, abstract and surrealistic works.
Drole Deciel
Smiley.
Shazeen Samad
Simple yet excellent composition. This photo manages not just to show something, but to capture a moment of life in all its beauty and vividness.
Scott Bush
Berk-plage - France. What a sky! A really strange squadron: octopussy, teddy bear and skates.
Pedro Meyer
Pedro Meyer shows the life of people across the globe. This photo was taken in Rio De Janeiro.
Mitch Dobrowner
Mitch Dobrowner is famous due to his Earth photos.
Robertino Nikolic
lighting plays with geometry. Or geometry plays with lighting? The winner of the Black & White Spider Awards 2007.
Matthias Just
747.
Unknown
Capturing the right moment at the right point of time.
Bert (Quasebart)
Perfect timing, perfect lighting. A dreamy shot.
Hughes Leglise-Bataille
That’s a quite unusual perspective for a photograph.
Santosh Korthiwada
“No peeping please!” Very powerful, emotional and somehow sad photo.

Watanabe
Straws.

G. Diaz Deleon
Ventana XIV. Geometric minimalism at its best.
Maurizio Polese
Escape. Unusual angle, unusual perspective.
Jana Stolzer

Vega Omer
Struggling to survive.

beautiful. To me it seems that most of the pictures have a sad, melancholic touch. I like this, however :)

You swine!. I’ve been quite happy with my photography of late and now I’m depressed
Anthem Creative (June 9th, 2008, 5:00 am)
Excellent post and stunning photography. I must say though, the most compelling element of black and white photography, in addition to the reasons listed, is the capturing and displaying of the brutally honest emotional value in its subjects. B&W photography can inspire laughter, tears, or any variety of emotional response in a way that no other medium seems to be able to accomplish.

Absolutely amazing shots. The photographers ought to be proud of themselves.
theemptywhiteroom (June 9th, 2008, 5:45 am)
the piece entitled “birds” is a photomanipulation submitted on deviantart.com approximately 1 year ago. It is not an original photo.
Andris (June 9th, 2008, 6:19 am)
I love black and white photographs much more than the colored ones.
They always transport the feelings much purer than with colors.
Great selection by the way.

Lovely collection, but please credit ever photo carefully. The photo titled “Good Winter” was taken by Ezra Caldwell:

You should put some Bresson pics in this post.

Tom Mayers (June 9th, 2008, 2:39 pm)
I’m not sure who you’re impressing with these? Is this a photoblog now? Whist an improvement on the woeful recent HDR post, your forays into photography are lacklustre and derivative. You less than insightful commentary (”Taking a shot just at the right moment”) adds very little. you are great at tech and coding posts, why don’t you just stick to them?
JuiceMag (June 9th, 2008, 6:28 pm)
Well i’m not an expert but in my opinion, a black-and-white picture looks gorgeous with the contrast of black and white and also the way the pic silently tells its meaning :D
sudham (June 9th, 2008, 7:29 pm)
Black and white photos has its own beauty and are gorgious
Angelina (June 9th, 2008, 9:36 pm)
These look fantastic.
Cody Redmon (June 9th, 2008, 9:53 pm)
fantastic look at the field, but as ‘theemptywhiteroom’ commented, the “Birds” entry is without question a work of photoshop. it took less than ten seconds for me to recognize three ‘bird’ shapes that are scaled and repeated at different angles. the shot is just too perfect, i’m surprised you guys didn’t figure that out on your own…
here’s my Link [www.codyredmon.com]

Hughes Léglise-Bataille (June 10th, 2008, 1:23 am)
I’m somehow glad yet puzzled to have one of my photos included in this selection, which I must say is quite a mixed bag that unfortunately, falls very very short of presenting a top quality selection. Famous photographers mixed with completely unknown amateurs, great shots mixed with very poor ones, and all this missing a massive number of fantastic works by world renowned photographers (in no particular order, where are Nachtwey, HCB, Pellegrin, Doisneau, Koudelka, Kertesz, Capa, Trent Parke, etc, etc.).
By the way, the author of “Straws” is Japanese photographer Link [www.hiroshiwatanabe.com].

Most of these are ‘pretty’ but stimulate little other than aesthetic pleasure. This is a pleasingly safe list. Hardly surprising when your audience consists of mostly tech geeks who think culture was something that MTV invented. Stick to producing sugar-coated geekery. Leave art alone.

Liam (June 11th, 2008, 8:23 pm)
Hey AndrewE,
Maybe since you’re so enlightened and educated in regards to truly “cultural” art, you could provide us with some examples, instead of insulting the entire readership of this website.
Show us all of your conversation-stimulating and deeply conceptual, culturally relevant artwork, because you must be quite the artist if you feel like you can come here and take a jab at all of the above photographers.
This website is not an art website, it is a resource for general inspiration. Nowhere in the post did they mention that they were trying to bring together a definitive collection of art photography, they were merely displaying a few pieces to stimulate the creativity of their community.
You believe they should leave art alone, and I believe you should leave this website alone.
Thanks.

A.Alaalas (July 1st, 2008, 3:25 pm)
Ciortea’s photo suggests the lad will break his neck on that back dive; not what I would call an emotive scene. Also, in El Salvador the culture does not distinguish “adult jobs” — it tends to focus on survival. And, no, that is not the “real meaning” of the photo, it is just the opposite, a crass disrespect of reality and a leap into the fantastic, a far step from photo-realistic art interpretation.

Ted Blake (July 4th, 2008, 5:29 am)
I have always preferred black and white photography over color. So many more details can be seen without being distracted by color.
One great photographer I didn’t see mentioned here is Clyde Butcher. He has done some fantastic shoots in Florida, Cuba and the western U.S.

I am amazingly annoyed! I’ve seen that ‘birds’ photograph many times before and always wanted to know where it’s from, especially since I’ve seen one that appears to have been taken from behind the man as he jumps. I saw this on clipmarks and thought I might finally find out where it’s from…no such luck.

Nice pictures…Lame descriptions… The writer evidently thinks they’re qualified to discuss art because they use words like, “powerful”, “perspective”, and “composition”.

My God, I believe, love, hope and love-Vos. I ask Your forgiveness for those who do not believe, not
love, do not expect Vos and not love “and” Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I love you deeply and offer you the preciosíssimo Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of
Jesus Christ, present in all sacrários the earth, in repairing the outrages,
sacrilégios and indifference with which he himself is offended. And the merits of His infinite
Holy Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, pevo-Vos the conversion of the poor
sinners
