Black & White Stories

Stripped of color, the focus shifts—to texture, emotion, shape, and presence.

This portrait series was created to explore the quiet power of black & white. Without the distraction of color, everything becomes more honest: the way light moves across a face, the curve of a hand, the space between expressions.

Each session was slow and collaborative. I asked subjects to come as they were—no styling, no direction, no expectations. What emerged were moments of vulnerability, stillness, and strength. Every image is a conversation in silence.

Black & White Stories is about timelessness. It's about finding poetry in shadow and contrast. It's about seeing the essence of someone without distraction.

Shot digitally and processed with grain, soft highlights, and deep blacks—for a classic, tactile feel.
