20 Creative Black and White Photos to Fill You with Inspiration

Have you ever had a creative block? I’m sure yes, and if it hasn’t happened to you, time to time. It is something that we all go through, this is not bad, it is normal, the “bad” thing, so to speak, is not knowing how to fight it. The worst thing about this situation is to settle into that blockage and think that inspiration will come, but the more dust your camera accumulates inside a cabinet, the more difficult it is for you to be filled with inspiration. Over time you realize that in any discipline the fundamental thing is that the muses catch you working when they come to visit you, that is, that you don’t stop, that you take photos yes or yes, that you are the one who goes in search of inspiration and for that there are different ways to do it, in a blog article I gave you some ideas to get creative photos when you have no ideas, today I leave you XX creative example photos to inspire you.

And this time in black and white, why? Because grayscale photographs fall in love, there are a lot of reasons for this, you may already know them and you may be one of those people who have been seduced by this type of photography and that is why you are reading this text. Or maybe you have fallen here by chance and curiosity but you have not yet been caught by black and white, in that case, I hope that after seeing the images you decide to immerse yourself in this monochrome world. In any case, if you dare and do not know very well how to defend yourself in this field, you are interested in reading this mega guide that we have prepared for you where you will find all our tips and tricks on black and white photography.

Now I am going to “bombard” you with creative images that I hope will light a spark in that part of your brain where creativity lives and where the muses stay when they come to visit 😉

Images like these can be achieved without leaving home, look for elements with which you can make an interesting composition or models that lend themselves to playing with the body. The results can be really attractive.

Stairs seen from the right perspective in color can be very beautiful, but in black and white they are usually spectacular.

We are used to landscape photographs being in color, but don’t tell me that a long exposure of a black and white landscape isn’t great, especially if you add the human element to it 😉

Negative spaces, natural frames, geometries… play and have fun 😉

Textures work great in black and white, as do repeating patterns that create rhythm in the image, here are two examples (above and below)

Sometimes you just have to turn things around so that they gain strength and interest:

Surrealism is closely associated with painting or cinema, but perhaps not so much with photography. Dare to get images like this playing with forced perspective.

Have you ever taken a double exposure photograph? It’s about time! Do not be scared if you do not know how to do it, here it is explained in detail.

You will not tell me that this photo is not spectacular!

Turn your head and what you have in your house, the “several” ravings of each one can have their fruits 😉

A reflective surface, a delicate object, beautiful or with a suggestive shape and… voilà!

Blurs, fog, lights… the city is a game board and you move the pieces.

We have said it “many” times, looking from another perspective has a prize 😉

Find a theme… this photo is called “Butterflies in the stomach”, pretty and funny, right?

A small source of light, a silhouette that tells a story… write your stories with the camera.

Low key or high key in black and white give you impressive results. Do you want to try it?

You can also create black and white abstract art, here is a good example of it:

Do you think now that you can be inspired by seeing these images? Or are you going to wait on the sofa for the muses to lift you off it? I dare to say that it is the first option and that you are already wanting to grab your camera and launch yourself in search of black and white.
