Between black and white, there’s a whole world of gray—where the real fun happens.
- I have 3 🌀. Here they are:
- Consistency! We use this word a lot in the world of AI generation—consistent posts, consistent characters, consistent style. So, today I stay true to black and white and its clear play of shadows and light. Posting monochrome photos has become a bit like jogging on a Sunday morning: it starts with enthusiasm and quickly turns into a test of endurance, moving from one post to the next.
- Meanwhile, we find ourselves debating the rules of composition as if they were sacred doctrines: the golden ratio, which seems so magical it could be the answer to everything—except what’s for dinner. And then there are the leading lines, which we wield like street signs, guiding the eye exactly where we want it to go, because heaven forbid anyone should get distracted! 7
- Yet perhaps, in our commitment to this limited palette, there’s a little truth: finding order in chaos. Are we consistent? Maybe, maybe not. The key is to enjoy the ride, even when it feels like it’s just us and our golden rules dancing endlessly between light and shadow. Because in the end, who needs colors when you’ve got a sense of humor?
It’s not just about the stark contrasts; it’s the shades in between that keep things interesting, adding depth and nuance to every shot.
So, as I post black-and-white photos, let’s not forget: it’s not about sticking rigidly to extremes.
Consistency doesn’t mean just repeating the same thing; it means exploring the full range of what we’ve chosen embracing the gray areas.
That’s where the real magic happens—where light, shadow, and all those in-betweens play together, creating images that are more than just pictures but stories in every shade.
Here is where these virtual high-fashion outfits become shapes and volumes.
