15 Black-and-White Photographs That Awaken Different Moods

For this week’s round of the Mashable Photo Challenge Guest Series, we asked you to take color out of the picture and show us your best black and white photographs. We received more than 700 amazing submissions within just a few days. Guest curator Kim Landgraf, who specializes in black-and-white photography, selected his favorite 15.

“I was very impressed by the number and diversity of submissions, and have full of respect for a lot of the work displayed on this platform,” he says

The submissions included black-and-white portraits, breathtaking landscape photos, clever shadow shots and more.
