When is black and white the best photo choice for your birth announcement cards or photo holiday card? Regardless of how many digital images you email, post or share online, every parent wants to capture the best possible photo when sending those printed announcements and greetings to family and friends. So when is black and white the way to go?
Capturing emotion in print. In the absence, of color, the black and white image forces its viewer to focus on the image rather than the color, making it easier to connect with any emotion or action captured in the shot. Many baby and wedding photographers choose black and white photos for those special close-ups that instantly look more polished and timeless as a black and white image. [See our previous blog about tips for photogenic baby announcement cards].
Hiding imperfections. Just as people often look better in candlelight, photos often look better in black and white as skin imperfections are less apparent and lines are crisper. For the novice photographer, black and white photos don’t have to be perfectly lit and allow even the simplest pictures to appear more elegant.
