Black and White Skyline Photography

Black and white skyline photography is a unique form of art. These natural photos are highly diverse and depict their subjects in ways that are surreal and highly graphic. Because of this unique treatment, this form of photography is highly popular with many art consumers who desire stately, yet modern, artwork.

Like many forms of high contrast photos, lack and white skyline photography depicts images in stark relief, a technique that makes even familiar objects be seen in a different way. Photographer Ansel Adams was famous for his black and white skyline images such as 'Birds on a Beach' because of the focus on the graphic qualities of this art category. In his work, a familiar image changes from mundane to majestic through his focus on patterns and contrast.
