Why YOU Should Shoot in Black and White | Ask David Bergman?

Shooting in black and white is like turning your camera into a super detective that only sees what's really important, not the colors, but the shapes, shadows, and feelings.

Imagine you're playing with blocks on the floor. If everything is colorful, it might be hard to tell which block is tall or short. But if you close your eyes and feel them, you can tell just by how they look in black and white, like when you draw with crayons and only use gray.

Think of black and white as a special filter that takes away all the distractions, like wearing sunglasses on a sunny day. When you take photos this way, it helps you focus more on how light and dark work together, making your pictures look stronger and more interesting.

Sometimes, when you use colors, things can get too busy. But with black and white, everything becomes simpler, like sorting toys into piles, one pile for the bright ones, one for the darker ones.

So, shooting in black and white helps you see the world differently, just like how a detective sees clues instead of just pretty colors.
