Bøur, Faroe Islands – A black and white pictorial
f you shoot in black and white you have to be a little brave (or foolish). Most professionals recommend shooting in color, then post-process to B&W. But for me – when you walk out the door knowing you’ll only be shooting B&W you start to see the city differently – you’re looking for high contrasts, deep blacks, the way the light hits the subject and sort of simplifying the elements of your pictures. I’m not a professional photographer (at all). I just enjoy wandering the streets and taking some snaps.
Even the small village of Bøur is a photographic dream, but a road-trip to nearby attractions like Lake Sørvágsvatn, and Múlafossur Waterfall will provide almost too much natural beauty to try and capture.
