Stepping away from colors lets us get right to the heart of what makes a portrait really pop - the light, the textures, the deep contrasts, and those special angles that capture someone's essence. We're scouting for portraits that totally nail the black-and-white game, highlighting the pure talent and creativity of the person behind the lens. Thank you to all the photographers that shared their favorite monochrome portraits in this photo contest with chances to win a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens and more cool prizes.
