Every professional photographer or photo retoucher has a unique style of editing images influenced by time periods or trends and defined by their color palette, which contributes to the mood and look of their photographs. Unfortunately, trends go in and out of style. On the other hand, the absence of color gives black-and-white photos an inherent aesthetic quality, allowing them to remain timeless, unfazed by the latest color grading trends prevalent on social media.
B&W photographs lack temporal markers, making them more universal and enduring. They’re only dated by that era’s landmarks, clothing, and hairstyle fads. If you think of a few iconic black-and-white photographers throughout history, most of their images transcend the specific details of when or where the photographs were taken.
