Is B+W film for Pros or just Hobbyists

[Alpacaman]

I know a pro who shoots black and white for photos of children - because they wear clothes that do not match. And black and white for weddings, because it adds a certain mood, although it is done in digital. Black and white is definitely a viable option in a lot of pro fields.

Oh and not me but I know one wedding photographer who shoots film exclusvly, about 250 rolls at a wedding and is hired on that basis as one of his selling points. He commands 6 figures (Including expenses) for a weeks work. So film as a pro tool still lives.

There's a photographer who uses Leica MP cameras and film. He's also a member on this forum!

He does some pretty awesome work with two cameras and a couple of lenses. Definitely worth following / reading on a regular basis.

Personally, I shoot a mix of both for events. They're both viable tools with different results.
