Elegant Black & White

There is a simple truth to Black & White Photography and it continues to remain a classic & captivating style. Color can, at times, be a distraction. With Black & White those distractions are removed. Black & White is my preferred option for much of my work and my first choice, many times, when it comes to fine art, boudoir, or intimate female portraiture.

Here’s a little secret… the model’s dress and lipstick are not black, they are crimson red.

You’ll find more Black & White images in the fine art and monochrome galleries.

Best wishes, Kevin

It’s Time For A Blog

November 10, 2023

Well it’s kind of a blog, yet more like tasty thoughts served up fresh, without all the clutter! You know, like ads and all that.

As you know, most blogs have commenting, search, subscribe, tags, etc. Maybe we’d have all that if this was a blog website. Instead, the focus on this website is running a photography business and this “blog” is a way to share thoughts and insights with our clients, followers and visitors.

Most of the time, posts will be short with a single photo. When there is a need for longer posts and additional photos, we’ll provide the traditional Read More link.

Be sure to check back in for new posts.
We’ll be adding a subscription option and a mailing list to the website at a later date.

Best wishes, Kevin

The Quest Is Complete!

Finding the perfect web building & hosting platform for a photography business may prove more difficult than you can imagine. Sure you can go with the big names that are constantly promoted online. Some of these platforms are solid, yet tend to be for far more than just photography businesses. They come with a lot of horsepower if you need it, tend to have a steep learning curve and are also time consuming with their multi-layered site build navigation. Many of the other platforms that are truly dedicated to photographers, tend to be designed for family and wedding photographers.

Black Dress Photography® is a commercial photography business catering to businesses & brands, along with retail options for individual clients. Our platform build & host requirements must be solid & stable, with straightforward navigation on the admin side and flexible design options.

In September the switch was made and the winning platform for building & hosting the Black Dress Photography® website is now 22Slides! Finally, the quest is complete!!!

The 22Slides platform is so impressive and truly simple, solid, powerful and elegant. The design flexibility gets you out of the box, up & running and back to photography.

Finding the perfect build & host platform has been a multi-year quest and I now finally have a system that enhances my photography business in so many ways. Give it a try, I’m sure you’ll be impressed!

Our services include:
Fashion Photography, Beauty Photography, Fine Art Photography, Black & White Photography, Portrait Photography, Intimate Portraiture and Urban Portrait Photography.

That’s all for now.

We’ll have a new blog post soon.
