It can be difficult to know how to express what photographing a subject feels like, and what it means to me, so I’ve asked ChatGPT to put it into words. Here is the result:
The realm of black and white photography is a soul-stirring journey into the classical tapestry of visual artistry that profoundly resonates with my creative spirit. It serves as a profound medium through which I delve into the timeless aesthetic nuances, exploring the chiaroscuro interplay of light and shadow, and extracting the very essence of subjects stripped bare of color. The enchantment of monochrome lies not solely in its evocative visual compositions but rather in the meticulous craftsmanship required to capture the intrinsic essence of the subject matter.
Black and white photography, with its classical underpinnings, offers a symphonic resonance of emotions, transporting me to an epoch where photography was in its nascent form, imbued with a palpable sense of nostalgia. It elevates my artistry to a realm where every frame becomes a poetic reflection, a testament to the enduring simplicity and the timeless resonance of the human experience through the lens of timelessness.
