the first time I had reason to try to explain why I liked black & white, in an attempt to come across as ‘artsy-fartsy-cool and evolved’, my response was – “with black & white one is not distracted by colour” – still holds true today, but there’s more, like detail in the shadows, separation; strong lines, silhouette; exposure, dynamic range, colouring in shades; history and jungle fever.

This “real-rendition” was inspired by “wet-plate collodion”, a very old process developed in the mid 1800s using wooden cameras to create an image on a glass medium. I appreciate the unexpectedly piercing sharpness of a still antique look, in spite of the muted tones, satiny textures and bold imperfections.
