This week, Patti has chosen Monochrome as the subject for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. Without the distraction of color (at a very colorful event) I can concentrate on capturing the strength of features and character in the faces. Pictures taken at a local Pow Wow in Elk Grove Village a few years ago.

These are beautiful Sue – the B&W really does show the strength of character in the faces
Thanks, Tina!
Outstanding. Great photos.
Thanks, John! I was hoping for another excuse to revisit this particular photo file and this challenge was the perfect opportunity.
🙂
Wonderful portraits!
Thank you! I rarely do people pictures but this was an opportunity too good to pass up.
Remarkable! BnW shows the characters and expressions so much better.
Thank you, Amy!
There is such expressive power in these shots, Su. Wonderful portraits.
Thanks, Patti! I’m a big fan of b/w photography so it was nice to have this opportunity to share some of these images.
Fantastic!!! Love these photos!! Great post!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent series of portraits!!
Thanks, Indira! This was one of the rare times when I felt drawn to take people pictures.
Brilliant portraits …the black and white makes one observe their faces more even though their outfits are detailed and fascinating…again Brilliant!
Thanks, Marianne! I’m hoping that they will return for another Pow Wow in our area sometime in the future. It was such a fantastic experience.
Love these in b&w! 😊
Thank you so much, Irene!
Powerful and beautiful – the portraits show the strength and character that B&W brings out! Well done!
Thank you, Ann-Christine!
Very powerful portraits, Sue. Each face tells his/her own story. Especially love the eyes in the last one. ❤
Thanks, Olga! I got a whole new perspective when I zoomed in on these faces and converted the images to b/w.
Beautiful shots of some beautiful people.
Thank you! It was a wonderful experience and one that I hope to repeat sometime in the future.
Save for the photo of the woman with glasses, I can’t tell which century those photos were from. Love it!
Thanks, Chris! It was an incredible experience.
