Sometimes the less we see, the more we begin to understand.

Colour is extraordinary. It can transform an ordinary photograph into something vibrant, dramatic and impossible to ignore. A blue sky, a bright red umbrella or the golden light of a summer evening can become the first thing our eyes notice. Sometimes that's exactly what a photograph needs.

Sometimes it isn't.

Over the years I've found myself returning to black and white again and again—not because I dislike colour, but because I occasionally want to remove it. Not to make a photograph look older. Not to make it appear more artistic.

Simply to allow something else to speak.
