About

Selective Colouring is a photographic technique where most of an image is converted to black and white, but some parts are left in color. This method is used to draw attention to specific elements within a photograph, often creating a striking visual contrast.

Observations

The style uses highly realistic close-up photography with predominantly monochrome imagery interrupted by a few intensely saturated accent colors. Tight portrait and flower compositions, shallow focus, crisp fine detail, and strong tonal contrast create a graphic, fashion-editorial impact across the set.
