Why are black-and-white photos more artistic than color photos?

Black and white photos are only black and white. Black and white photos have no color interference, so you can focus on the theme. Color photos are clear colors that can clearly reflect people or things before development.

Black and white can not only highlight the relationship between light and shade, but also strengthen the contrast for good works; For bad works, you can also erase all the uncoordinated colors. In other words, assuming that the photographer's skill is average, or the film is average, then black and white can erase the defects of the characters themselves and the disharmony of the background environment.

In China, color photos became popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and in China's first tier cities. If popularization means widespread use, it is to use non-digital cameras first and then digital cameras. Its spread is not only determined by the film price, because color development is not something we can do by ourselves, so it depends on the development of supporting facilities, so it was really widely used in China in the 1990s, because printing equipment began to be widely used.
