I still don't understand why Black and White photography is so attractive, so seductive and romantic. Is it its nostalgic effect that reminds us of the beginnings of photography? I don't know! However, I never cease to be fascinated by Black and White photography.
Many times I have taken portraits in full color, especially when I work with intense tones. After a while I end up searching my archives for those portraits and try how they would look like if I had done them in Black and White and the results always end up impressing me.
Today I want to share with you these portraits I did for my friend Meylin. On that occasion she was wearing a stunning red outfit with a stunning makeup that matched the intensity of her blouse. They are beautiful photographs, but I couldn't help but take them to Black and White and give them that special touch that only B&W photography can offer to the viewer.
This is my submission to the #monomad, November 23rd contest...
Thanks @monochromes for keeping up this great photo challenge! Consider the image of your choice for my post.

Thanks for reading!
I agree completely, black and white photos have a beauty that colour photos can only rarely match. They are less noisy, and offer an image that is more emotional and detailed. Really nice work!
Thanks dude
