Though we have camera technology today that can give us sharper, brighter color photographs than ever, there's something to be said about the elegant simplicity of black and white photography. It produces a mood that color can't fully replicate, and Etsy photographers sell a stunning array of modern black and white photos that capture magical moments. The scenery of a black and white photo of a snowy landscape comes through crisp. Black and white portraits and fashion photography of today and bygone eras gives inspiration to up-and-coming designers and visual artists. Animal photographs caught in black and white, taken out in the wild may arouse a spirit of adventure in the viewer, while a calming black and white photograph of an island beach brings a sense of tranquility.
