Contrast and Photojournalism

Contrast and Photojournalism
Black-and-white photography has remained particularly effective in capturing the raw immediacy of human events, such as this 1968 civil rights march in Tennessee. The photographer achieves striking contrasts, framing the line of protesters between bayonets and tanks, emphasizing the theme of black and white with lighting, and singling out the white man with no sign or glasses.
