We featured many black and white photography articles in past but never something related to minimalism. This post presents some truly excellent examples of beautiful minimalist black and white photography by Gavin Dunbar.

For those who don’t know what is “Black and White” in terms of Photography then, In early time photography was black-and-white or shades of sepia. Color photography was originally rare and expensive, and again often less than true to life.
