Opposites Attract

Opposites attract, would you agree?

The phrase was the exact title of the feature I once had in Sun Star newspaper... last year.  It took me again this long to post about this feature because of endless priorities that never cease to surprise me.  Anyway, this contribution that I did for Sun Star is dear to me mainly because (1) I offered the concept and was instantly approved and (2) because black-and-white is my all-time favorite color combination and working on about it is such a gigantic pleasure.  Last fall-winter 2014/2015, black and white was one of the trends of the season, and this time for fall-winter 2015/2016, Graphic Black and White in particular, as seen HERE, is again in trend.  Scroll down to see the unpublished photos for the black-and-white concept.
