Celebrating Monochrome: A Global Showcase of Creative Photography

Explore a diverse array of personal interpretations of the monochrome theme through stunning photographs submitted by readers from across the globe.


Readers from different corners of the world have responded to a call for submissions, capturing their artistic takes on the theme of 'monochrome' through photographs.


In an exciting display of creativity, participants from various regions have shared their best monochrome-themed photographs. Each submission reflects a unique perspective, showcasing the beauty and artistry found in black and white imagery.

Among the featured works, Martyn Longthorn captures the elegance of nature with a striking image of a pelican making a splash, contrasting dynamic movement with monochrome tones. Ian Maggiore finds beauty in the tranquility of early morning frost in his back garden, emphasizing the subtle details that monochrome can reveal.

Theresa Bennett offers a glimpse into her garden, portraying vibrant pink cosmos flowers that serve as an intriguing monochrome subject. Meanwhile, David Belton shares a photograph of the Aldeburgh Scallop sculpture in Suffolk, blending art with natural surroundings.

Sally Esau's composition from Rhodes presents a charming scene, featuring a black cat that adds an unexpected contrast to the image, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow within monochrome photography. Other contributors like Sean Corlett and Phil Norton explore the moody atmospheres and textured imagery that slow shutter speeds can achieve.

Photographers such as Piyusha Paradkar and Uku Sööt delve into more introspective themes, using shadows and light to convey deeper narratives. Meanwhile, Duncan Grey's creative capture of a café scene in London demonstrates how urban life can be transformed through monochrome photography.

The contributions continue with stunning visual explorations like Doris Enders’ depiction of Arizona's Blue Mesa, Kate Snow’s delicate macro lens shot of dandelions, and Emma Warren’s poised picture of her monochrome cat. Each photograph not only outlines a personal vision but also encourages viewers to appreciate the artistry in everyday moments.

As the theme transitions to “my best photo,” readers are invited to participate once again, with submissions due by March 18. The selected images will be featured in the In Pictures section of the BBC News website, continuing a celebration of visual storytelling that invites creativity and personal expression through photography.
