Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.

This week we have had some snow and freezing conditions which has made photography much more fun! With the monthly challenge in mind I headed out to the coast to make some images thinking about colour and black and white. When would you make a choice to use one or the other - does it just come down to whim or are there stronger reasons to keep colour or convert to mono. In this post I thought I would explore this subject a little more.
