Last Updated on 05/05/2016 by Chris Gampat

This is a syndicated blog post from La Noir Image. Don’t forget about our Kickstarter!

Those of us who embrace the purist mentality that monochromatic images lend themselves to often end up applying it to all of our work. Indeed, black and white simplifies a scene and makes the human mind pay attention to nothing else but the shapes in a scene. Sometimes it’s tough to embrace; but with a little bit of inspiration, you’ll want to get out there and document the world in nothing else but black, white and all the shades in between.

To get you inspired, here are 10 photographers mostly shooting black and white with followings of under 10k to check out.
