Black-and-white photos have some inexplicable mystery and an atmosphere inherent only to them. We offer you to admire fifty such masterpieces from recognized masters.

What is important in black and white photography? It depends on who is looking at her. If you are a professional in this field, you will probably pay attention first of all to chiaroscuro, angle and other important photographic details. If you are a simple observer, you will most likely be interested in the whole composition as a whole — so to speak, the "beauty and uniqueness" of the image. Whatever category you belong to, you will surely like some (or even all) black-and-white photos from this issue. They were made by masters of their craft who knew how to submit a picture devoid of colors.
