The Black and White

“I love black and white. It’s abstract and interpretive.” Herb Ritts.

For Lavanya, the charm of black and white photography is a ‘departure of reality’, creating a beautiful dreamscape. Deeply inspired by the ever-evolving architecture of New York City, where history and innovation coexist in a symbiotic dance. Each corner of this bustling metropolis holds a hidden gem, a silent witness to the city’s storied past and dynamic future. Capturing these fleeting moments on 35mm film transforms them into timeless pieces of art, where light and shadow tell a story of their own. The stark contrast of black and white photography accentuates the architectural details, breathing life into the structures that define the skyline.
