100 Wonderful Black and White Editorials

From Child Boxer Captures to Classy Criminal Shoots

— February 7, 2012 — Fashion
There are few things in life that are more striking, dramatic, and intriguing than a set of incredible black and white editorials. While colored images are fantastic for evoking certain emotions and capturing some settings perfectly, black and white photographs are unparalleled in their ability to depict a sense of mystery and serenity.

One industry in particular that does not often feature black and white editorials is the fashion world, as it usually prefers colored photographs to properly showcase the clothes and makeup in the shoot. However, when black and white photography is used in fashion, the results are striking and incredible. For instance, the Lindsay Lohan shots by Terry Richardson would not be as dramatic if they were not done in black and white.
