Black-and-white photography appeals to the head and the heart; colour photography hits you in the stomach. Black-and-white pictures make more demands on their viewers, they need a greater understanding and visual sophistication. I am struggling to get away from merely ‘stomach colour’ which I think is merely pretty and maybe shocking. The best colour shots are those that have the feeling and insight of black-and-white with the added mood given by colour.
