The magic of black and white is how we can see this world, which is naturally colored, in other ways where colors are absent, where that variety of tones doesn't exist, but where there is a way to harmonize contrast and texture, in such a way that the images stand out on their own, as well as creating that appearance between those darker and lighter tones, but also highlighting aspects of the photograph, such as silhouettes and backlit motifs, which of course are also applicable to color photography.

But since time immemorial, and despite the arrival of color photography technology at the time, many photographers have chosen to develop their portfolios in black and white, either because it offers a more dramatic touch to the compositions, and the truth is that it does. Each image generates greater drama. It's as if that absence of color makes the subject and its surroundings put on a dramatic disguise and creates the elements for one to capture those scenes.

So, for this day, I present these images, each with its own magic and language as a photographic expression. They are simple images, but somehow captivating, or at least in my own words, I wanted to capture each of these scenes, which I wanted to present in this publication as a result of this series for this day.

All photographs are my own.

I've always told my wife I would love to build a developing studio in our house one day and that I'd only shoot blank and white 35mm. There really is just so much more for the viewer to pull out of b&w photos, even if there's technically "less detail" without the colors.

Hey, do it, it would be very interesting. Although I haven't worked with development in over 12 years, because photography is so practical now, that system has always been magical.

The photos are beautiful and heart captivating even they are in black and white.
