Monochrome photography

Monochrome photography is the recording of single colour, or wavelength, of light. The term generally refers to all forms of black and white photography, recording light in tones of grey ranging from black to white.[1]

Black and white photography is considered more subtle and interpretive, and less realistic than colour photography.[1] Monochrome images are not direct renditions of their subjects, but are abstractions from reality, representing colors in shades of grey. In computer terms, this is often called greyscale.[citation needed]

Monochrome images may be produced using black and white film or paper or by manipulating colour images using computer software.
