Monochromatic is an exhibition exploring the emphasis of color in the captured image. A monochrome photograph is commonly considered a black and white or grayscale, but a monochromic color scheme is a balance of tones, tints, and shades of a single hue. Potential subject media includes but is not limited to early photographic processes, such as cyanotype, analog film, infrared, sepia, tintype, etc., and modern digital post-production techniques.
