"Why shoot in black & white"

People shoot black and white photography for many reasons. It could be because the mood of the photo, distractions of colors, the meaning, or just because the simple old fashion looks the photography wants the viewer to see. Black and white photography pays close attention to the composition, lighting, perspective, and the context of the shot. It stands out more to be black and white.
            I personally prefer color photography, but that doesn’t mean I dislike the black and white. I myself as a beginner photographer I find my pictures more meaningful to be in color. The black and white images in have a lot of placement in this world due to historical meanings. Way back when in the early 1900s when our country entered into wars and all the historical things that occurred to make the United States who we are today are all in black and white. Those photo’s have strong meaning.
