Properly applied with shape, texture and tone in mind, a b&w picture can transform the most mundane subjects into a work of art. The main objective was to show a tonal range from total black to the lightest highlight that still retains textural information, effectively obscuring the form of the object in the lower 20% within the darkest shadow to create a new perspective of the object, hopefully imparting on the viewer the message to look beyond their usual understanding of the original object.
