The difference between black and white photos and color photos

The differences between black-and-white photos and color photos are: different origins, different coordination and different contrast.

First, the origins are different.

1. Black and white photo: The first black and white photo in the world was taken by Frenchman Nipps on 1826.

2. Color photo: 186 1 year. The first color photo was taken in Maxwell, England.

Second, coordination is different.

1. Black-and-white photos: Black-and-white photos can erase the defects of the characters themselves and the disharmony of the background environment.

2. Color photos: Due to the vividness of different colors, color photos may make some color areas irrelevant to the final effect of the image become eye-catching points, making the photos uncoordinated.

Third, the contrast is different.

1. Black and white photos: Black and white photos can highlight the relationship between light and shadow and enhance contrast.

2. Color photos: The changes of light, shadow and brightness of color photos are not obvious, and the contrast is relatively low.
