How I avoid the temptation to shoot in color

June 25, 2019 in journal

As you might know, I make my images in black and white - and all the grays in between.

Sometimes when I'm out shooting, the colors are too beautiful to ignore. Many people wonder why I don't capture the scene that way.

The thing is, I do. A lot of my work is in color. I'm talking about the 200+ videos on my YouTube channel: over 2 years worth of trips, hikes and other adventures, all captured in color.

While making those movies, I try to compose every frame as if it was a photo I would take in color.

That's how I avoid the temptation: I don't, I shoot in color too.
