Shades of grey

Brief

Grey is a neutral, achromatic colour that can be used with great versatility in photography. Not only are its almost infinite shades represented in every iconic black and white photo that's ever been taken, but its presence in colour shots can lend a tranquil balance to an otherwise florid scene. This is the colour of cloudy skies and foggy streets; ash and lead and stone. Professional photographers often use grey to create powerful images, and with a little bit of thought so can you.
