Black and White seascapes

Having spent a long time looking for black and white seascapes, I have discovered that there are not many out there. Of all the photography disciplines, this seems to be a very sparse area of photography. I really do not understand this, the ocean makes a fantastic black and white subject! I am not saying that there are none, but its not as common an art form as for example the “black and white portrait”.

Textures on the sea, rocks, sand and pebbles scream black and white to me. I feel that taking the impact of colour away from a photograph, draws they eye deeper into it, requiring a little more time and thought. Adding a new element into the photograph, like time really boosts interest and depth of the photographic image.

Here is a small collection of  black and white seascapes. Please visit the link to each photographer and view there other work.
