IMHO, the black and white and shades of grey thing should NEVER (and I mean NEVER) be photographed in anything other than true black and white. Film, preferably, although some true grey-scale digital cameras (no colour filters on the focal plane) have enough dynamic range to make it work. Also, great care must be taken by the photographer to avoid the zombie look ... we don't want to give the appearance of producing cheesecake for necrophiliacs.

One of the best examples of the technique I have ever seen was a portrait of Sigourney Weaver, done by Robert Mapplethorpe. (Yes, the bullwhip guy.) Let's see if I can find it.

Nope. can't ... bummer. It was (is?) astonishingly beautiful.

In any case, when we literally remove all colour from the image, we need the model to put all sorts of figurative colour into the image with body-language and facial expression. In this image, not only is it literally colourless it's figuratively colourless as well.

Very interesting observations. I hadn’t even noticed the pictures were shot in color!

I cut my bangs off really short. My mom was madder than hell, she had to take me on an emergency run to the beauty shop and they chopped all my hair off into a “pixie” hairstyle and then did a perm. I’m surprised I was able to sit down for the school picture, LOL!

I will be 51 this year, and most folks say I look between 35 and 40, but I am sure beginning to feel my actual age, LOL!

Same here! In my head, I’m still 25, though!
