In photography, we often rely on color to help define the images that we capture. When this variable is eliminated from the equation, it completely changes the way that images are shot and even perceived. Other elements such as lighting, shadows and focus take on larger roles and must be carefully taken into consideration for the shot.

Below you will find 50 random black and white images of people taken by some excellent photographers. Simply click on the images to be taken to the source. Enjoy!

In Conclusion

I’m hoping that you grabbed some inspiration from the roundup. Shooting black and white images is a completely different ballpark in relation to shooting in color. Most cameras already come armed with the black and white setting, so the next time you find yourself snapping away, give it a try. If you enjoyed this roundup, the best way to say thanks is to simply share it with your friends. I’d also love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below. Thanks!

Over the past couple of months I’ve set a folder aside in my browser specifically for random pieces of inspiration that have caught my eye.

In no time the folder was bursting at the seams and now it’s time to dump my findings into the laps of my readers. Without further ado, here are 50 random images for your inspiration.

Designing a typography-based poster that actually works is not an easy task. With the spotlight turned towards the typeface itself, many different variables from placement to color to the chosen font all have to work together. Not everyone can pull it off, but when a designer is skilled in this type of work the results can be quite beautiful.

In this roundup, you will find a collection of 60 amazing typography-based posters. Some were chosen for their style, a few for their font choice and others were just plain witty.

Brilliant Examples Of Pencil vs. Camera

Take an artist, an overly-creative mind and a completely coincidental set of actions and an inspiring form of art is set into motion.

The Pencil vs. Camera series sprung from the mind of an artist by the name of Ben Heine. The basic concept is to take an existing image, lay a torn piece of paper over it and let the pencil and creativity flow. This crossbreed of photography and sketching isn’t exactly new, yet through an extremely creative mind and an artist alike, it is taken to an entirely new level. Below you will find this creative series in full with the exception of one bonus example that we couldn’t include in the roundup.

Pencil vs. Camera

Who’s Responsible for this Creativity?

His name is Ben Heine, a Belgian painter, illustrator, portraitist, caricaturist and photographer. He was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and currently lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. He studied graphic arts and sculpture and also has a degree in journalism. You can catch him on his flickr photostream to view more of his creations.

In regards to the Pencil vs. Camera series, he claims the idea came completely by coincedence. While proofreading a letter that he had written, he noticed the television in transparency beyond him in the background. He then thought that it would be a great idea to make something similar in a single image showing two different actions. Thus, Pencil vs. Camera was born.

Bonus: Although considered art, I try not to include any nudity in the posts on this site. The advertisers tend to frown upon it. That being said, there is one more image in the Pencil vs. Camera collection that can be viewed here. WAIT a second, before you leave the site I’d love to hear your thoughts on this form of art in the comment section below. Thanks!
