Black & White Photos

October 20, 2018 by Diana

Sometimes just looking at photos of the chimpanzees takes my breath away.

Even though I’ve known them for over a decade, I love being able to study their features and the different expressions that the camera captures in a given moment.

Black and white photos can be all the more breathtaking.

The many shades of Jamie

August 18, 2018 by Diana

Jamie is intense, capable, determined, moody, stubborn, and on occasion sweet and silly.

 

This one is more of an outtake:

Burrito Chimpanzee in Black and White

January 31, 2018 by Diana

Continuing with the black and white/grey theme from Saturday, and thanks to comments on that blog post, I decided to truly embrace this way of seeing and capturing images by setting the camera to monochrome and finding out what might happen.

I had to climb a ladder in the greenhouse to get these photos, but Burrito willingly served as the most handsome subject anyone could hope to have.

I might just be in love with black and white.

 

Burrito wears it well.

Taking some photos up a notch

January 17, 2015 by Diana

I really like black and white photos. I think it lends a more intimate feeling to portraits – you can really concentrate on the person’s facial features and wonder about their personalities and their pasts without the distraction of color.

We’ve been getting some great close-up photos of the chimpanzees lately plus I found a few that we hadn’t posted before, so I thought I would render some in black and white and sepia.

What do you think?

This is a close up of Annie’s eyes:
