Black and white film

Black and white film captures images using a monochrome palette, recording shades of gray from pure white to black. Instead of color, it relies on varying light intensities and contrast to create depth and mood. These films use silver halide crystals that react when exposed to light, forming an image upon development. Originally, black and white was standard because of technical limitations; today, it's often chosen for artistic reasons, emphasizing composition, texture, and emotion without the influence of color. The process involves exposure, development, and printing or digital transfer, resulting in a timeless, classic aesthetic.
