Monochrome is not our reality. While photographing in monochrome, one can adjust the brightness, shadows and contrast to their individual liking, just as we can with color, but the unexpected often is stronger to the viewer.
You will learn why monochrome delivers a different feeling since our everyday world is made up of colors.
