MONO LANDSCAPE
January 2025
"Not just black and white" While “monochromatic” and “black and white” are often used interchangeably in photography, they mean different things. All black and white photographs are monochrome, but not all monochrome photos are black and white. Some examples of images that are monochrome but not black and white would be cyanotypes, with their characteristic Prussian blue, or warm sepia photos.
Monochrome photos can be any color, as long as they exclusively use varying tones of that hue.
