Black and white photographic history

Black and white photographic history defined media of the invention of the daguerreotype in 1839 to the 1970s. Modernist photographers like Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Paul Strand and Ansel Adams explored the formal quality in their portraits, landscapes and depictions of city life, and elevating photography contribute to an acceptable art form alongside painting and sculpture.

However, most serious photographers will tell you that the best black and white photos are taken when the photographer deliberately sets out with black and white images in mind.
