After seeing these images I decided to watch American suspense/horror Psycho, the inspiration for Blonds' horror fashion show...
I love that the film is in black and white and I also love black and white photography. The absence of colours makes for more of an intense watch. The black and white takes away the 'distraction' of colour. The viewers eye concentrates on the subject itself. Tones, shapes, textures, light play, shadows and depth of field all become more apparent when the element of colour is removed. Each tone in the spectrum competes for our view so removing them all leaves only the core subject to be analysed. More subtle elements of the shot become readily apparent creating their own drama.
