Photography has exerted a significant influence in the art world. Although color photography has been around for a long time, there is still a large demand for
framed large black and white photos. Sometimes a black and white image can help the viewer see things in a different way when compared to a color image. Another use of black and white imagery is stripping things down to their barest essentials. With color out of the picture, the view can focus on lines, shapes, and image composition.
Architecture is a common subject for
framed large black and white pictures. For example, artists often like to photograph famous landmarks, such as “Empire State Building” by Christopher Bliss or “London Tower Bridge” by Marcin Stawiarz. Sometimes a building or structure is photographed in a larger context, such as Henri Silberman’s “New York, New York, Brooklyn Bridge,” which shows the Brooklyn Bridge in front of New York City’s well-known skyline.
