Cole Thompson - Fine Art Black and White Photography

Found this photographer whilst researching, and these images of a harbour in Hawaii really caught my eye. The black and white is really effective and makes the contrast between the strong, dark lines of the rocks really dramatic against the much softer and lighter tones of the sky and the water.

Your eye is drawn in to the image by the bold lines of the rocks that really stand out from the flat tones of the still water. The intense detail on the rocks that is picked up in the image also adds to the strong contrast between the two areas and again makes it really eye catching. 

I really like how this image has the much brighter sky and water towards the centre. it seems to balance the much darker almost overpowering rocks in the foreground which takes up a good half of the image. the rocks also act to draw the eye to the very centre of the image; the much brighter area. 
The black and white emphasises the strong contrast and the detail in the rocks and makes the images really punchy and eye catching.
