Black and White photos in Paris

Post image for Black and White photos in Paris

in travel photography

While using an old style of street photography for these photos, there are still tell-tale signs that it’s the Fall of 2009 in Paris. With this series of photographs, I wanted to re-capture an old world feel, a feeling of a different time, something older, more permanent, almost antique. So I loaded in a roll of Ilford HP5 400 Speed Black and White film and began to play. When the roll was done, I took it to Hollands Photo Lab in Austin and asked them to Process it at 1600 – and that gave me the look I wanted without using Photoshop at all.

Which one is your favorite?
