Episode Overview:

Kevin Ahronson and Kelly Perrin go head-to-head in a lively (and slightly caffeinated) debate about black-and-white versus colour photography. From the evocative power of monochrome to the vibrant allure of colour, the duo explores where each shines—and where it might falter. Expect playful banter, surprising insights, and even a discussion about the transformative powers of marshmallows and sunglasses.

Key Moments & Highlights

1.The Great S’mores Debate

•Before we even get to photography, Kevin learns about the art of s’mores. Kelly shares her love for toasted marshmallows, and Kevin wonders if he’s missed a key life experience.

•Pro tip: Fire, marshmallows, and chocolate biscuits are essential ingredients.

2.The Joys of Black-and-White Photography

•Kevin argues that black and white can make a photo feel more “serious,” “arty,” and emotionally powerful.

•He shares how shooting in monochrome helps you focus on contrasts, patterns, and textures, making you a stronger photographer.

Top Tip: Wear sunglasses to help spot great black-and-white compositions!

3.The Case for Colour

•Kelly champions vibrant hues, noting that colour brings energy and life to her favourite shots.

•She highlights how autumn leaves, vibrant wildlife, and bold sunsets feel incomplete without their natural colour palette.

Best Quote: “I want the robin’s red chest to scream at me. Black and white can’t scream!”

4.Where They Agree (Sort of)

•Black and white: Great for moody portraits, dramatic street photography, and fixing tricky lighting scenarios.

•Colour: Perfect for wildlife, landscapes, and capturing the full vibrancy of life.

•Both: Photography’s true beauty lies in its versatility—no need to pick one!

5.The Creative Process

•Kevin reveals his preference for abstract, high-contrast black-and-white shots that lean into the extremes of light and shadow.

•Kelly shares her love for capturing emotions in colour and the satisfaction of creating images that feel alive.

6.Wildlife Photography Showdown

•Kelly: “Wildlife is all about the colour—kingfishers are fast, but their blue feathers are worth the effort!”

•Kevin: “Wildlife can be abstract and artistic too. It’s not about the bird; it’s about the photograph!”

Final Thoughts:

•Kevin: “If I had to choose, I’d pick black and white for its drama and depth.”

•Kelly: “For me, it’s colour all the way—life’s too vibrant not to capture it!”

•Both: “Good thing we don’t have to pick!”
