If you’re reading this, the chances are that you’ve also glanced at my previous post today, showcasing Jacob Epstein’s Adam at Harewood House. I’ve been playing with the photos, and have decided I would have done Adam more favours by showing him off, not in glorious technicolor, but in monochrome. What do you think?
An addition to Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #220 One Subject Three Ways, and a contribution to Bren’s Mid-Week Monochrome #109.
You can have too much of a good thing, so I’ll hold back my other post from Harewood for a day or two.

Well, you can take responsibility for this. I realised I hadn’t even considered monochrome for these images till I thought of you.

Definitely the monochrome which eliminates the rather distracting purple light around the other, smaller figures.

Oh yes, looks like everybody’s in agreement with you that the monochrome is better. Somehow weirdly makes him look even larger in the header photo.

I agree, monochrome works much better – the room becomes less of a distraction and disappears into the background, letting him take centre stage!
