I have a pretty clear vision on what kind of black and white photos I’d like to take during the summer of 2017 and I’d like to share some of these artistic ambitions. I’ve put together a small list of keywords to describe my stylistic goals and visions. These aren’t ideas for projects or intended subjects etc. but just something to paint the picture of the visual style and undertone I’m after. I also added some rad vintage photos that I find inspiring.
