In the digital age, at times, black & white photographs have a bad rep of being pretensions, wannabe artistic or amateurish, this is not one of those cases. French photographer, Benoit Courti, creates sharp contrast in his black & white photos that result in an outstanding shot.

From the eerie image of a woman’s arm covered in flies to the adorable capture of a cat playing in the snow, Benoit’s photos evoke a variety of emotions from the viewer.
