"When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls!" - Ted Grant
Do you agree? Disagree? Why? What does he mean?
I agree because when I am taking a portrait in color, I tend to choose a model who wears brighter colors, therefore catching the eye of the person who is seeing these photos. Where as black and white photos give a photo a more mystic appearance, enticing the viewer to think and look past the outside of a person but rather into their deep emotions. I believe what Ted Grant is trying to say is that photography of people is all based on how the person behind the camera wants you too view their work. In black and white photographs, viewers should be entranced by a deep mystery. In color photographs, viewers should be enlightened and happy.
