These six images are all portraits. After looking at portrait photography I realised that most of it is in black and white. This is so that the tones in the face are visible in order to show form. Portrait photography is also often taken very close up so that the features of the face are clear and detailed. Complex backgrounds tend to distract attention away from the main aspect of the photo, the face, so most portrait background are very subtle or blurred out. In some portraits like the photo at the bottom, one specific feature is focused on. The mans face is black and white however his eyes are still coloured, so this is what we focussed on.
