One way to get the eye to focus on detail, texture, mood and meaning is to strip away the color in an image. Shooting in black and white puts composition and subject matter into sharper focus, and when shooting for abstraction or an intentionally muzzy image, the viewer is invited to perceive mood and meaning in the image. These images by Roberta Lannes-Sealey evidence these beliefs.
Black and white images manipulated in iPhone/iPad apps to appear vintage, grunge, or other enhancements were all done with original images taken by Roberta Lannes-Sealey.
Every image is available for purchase. The images are printed with a Canon PIXMA PRO Color Professional Inkjet Photo Printer on 8.5 x 11 inch archival paper and signed, sent in a cellophane envelope and packaged with cardboard protection, ready for framing. These are high quality prints, with far more detail and subtleties than are viewable on a screen at 72 dpi. For larger sizes, please query via the contact page before making a purchase.
