Colour

Black and White photography can be quite dull and it also leaves a lot of aspects of the photograph a mystery and you have to read into them a lot more but they are also timeless and at some points they're the best looking option. Colour photographs are very set in stone and it tells a lot more of a story because you know what you're looking at. Colour in photographs adds a lot more contrast and gives it more of a story whereas in black and white you can loose some of the aspects of the photographs and they fade away with it all being the same colour.

These are taken by William Eggleston and I really like the these because they're bright and quite interesting, having colour in these photographs makes the more likable to me because they aren't almost boring like black and white.
