Black is just THAT colour. It's classic and timeless. I like the ease of slipping on an 'all black' outfit, because I know no matter what, it would look flattering. You can say this one was somewhat 'ballerina' inspired. I remember when I was little (and I'm sure most other girls out there can relate...) I used to wish I was one!
I shot these using the black and white filter on my camera, and being such a lover of black and white photos, i'm quite pleased with how these came out.
