Black and white portraits exploit the differences in tone between the elements in a scene. A creative focus on the use of shapes, textures, lines and lighting can compensate for the lack of colour, and give these elements a whole new significance. Feel free to use filters or post-processing to achieve this effect, and don't forget to look at some of our past contests for inspiration.
