Shooting Antelope Canyon in Black and White
Most photographers capture Antelope Canyon in color because of those glowing oranges, reds, and purples. However, when you remove color, the canyon becomes about fiorm, contrast, and light.
Black and white works well because of
Strong tonal range — bright shafts of light vs deep shadowed curves
-
Sculptural textures — the sandstone looks like fabric
-
Abstract compositions — lines and shapes stand out more
-
Mood & drama
Many photographers who later review their color files discover many images were meant to be black & white.
