In the beginning, I had considered myself to be a diehard Black and White photographer. Even as far back in my university Colour Photography class, rather than take photographs using colour film, I’d shoot them in Black and White, and then hand-colour them. While I have since comfortably taken a liking to ‘actual’ colour photography after all these years, adopting it completely, to be truthful, Black and White photography will always hold a special place in my photographic heart. Just a few of my favourite, iconic Black and White photographers who have influenced my own work are Jacques Henri Lartique, Elliott Erwitt, Frank Horvat, Jeanloup Sieff, and of course Richard Avedon and Irving Penn.
