Black and White Portrait Photography

Black and white portraits

I struggle when asked what appeals to me about portrait photography. There are so many reasons. What I can say is that I became hooked on taking portraits and then I kept going, working in the studio, street, countryside, workplaces and other locations.

The people on this page are among the most lovely, kind, creative people I’ve met. Taking their portraits has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

I have a page with just portraits of artists if that is your cup of tea. In the meantime, here are some more portraits of mine, taken in New Zealand (my home) and London (where I go from time to time).

The Black and White Picture Photographer

The pictures were taken by me, David, a New Zealand based photographer. Should you have a minute, you can read more about me. Thank you for dropping by.
