If you have been following us for any length of time, then you KNOW how much we LOVE black and white photos.

One of my favorite quotes I’ve ever heard about b&w says it best: “If you want to remember what someone wore, show it in color. If you want to remember how something felt, show it in black & white.”

And it has become the very core of how we BOTH photograph for and edit our signature J&M black & white images.

Black & White has become SUCH a signature part of our work and our business in fact, that we have had people asking us for YEARS to share more about how we get them.

And starting this week, you are the first to find out… that we are doing exactly that!
