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

First of all, the question you asked is not valid in itself, and neither is the word "artistic sense". The artistry of photographic works is not judged by black and white or color. It can only be said that black-and-white photography is more symbolic, simpler, more profound, more abstract and more imaginative than color photography in reflecting the photographer's ideological connotation and creative intention. As for the reason. Color photos give viewers an experienced visual experience. Blue sky, white clouds, green trees, red brick walls, yellowed sunsets, ruddy and healthy skin color of women are almost the same as those seen by human eyes. The visual experience of black and white photos is transcendental, even for color blindness. For example, in the blue sky, the black-and-white lens shows a gradual change from light gray to medium gray, but if you add a yellow filter, the blue sky will be deeper, and if you add an orange filter, the color of the sky will be close to black, and the picture will be more consistent. So when you see this black-and-white photo, you can't see blue, but the sky that will make up this photo is very blue, so you think the sky is blue, but what you see is actually gray. Similarly, when you look at a black-and-white photo, you will fill in many details yourself, but some added details may be completely different from the actual color. If we continue our discussion, I'm afraid we will fall into the wrong path of philosophy. PS。 But the above is not absolute, and the visual experience brought by some color photos is transcendental because of the later reasons. In fact, color photos appeared quite early, but the mainstream photography industry has long insisted on creating with black and white photos. Another reason is that it is different from painting. Oh, I didn't pay attention to my answer. It was on the front page. Actually, I have arranged something to send recently.
