French term

reportage noir et blanc

French to English Other Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
Après plusieurs années consacrées au **reportage noir et blanc**, passionnée par les matières, les couleurs et les mystères du cru et du cuit, elle s’oriente vers la photographie culinaire par amour du goût et de la gastronomie.

Does this just mean "black and white photography"?

Merci à l'avance !

pictorial report in black and white

black and white pictorial feature


PS: if you say "photography" per your suggestion, it does not make it a report, a feature - it could be a series of disconnected b&w photos
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kim Metzger : Beware of literal translations. "Reportage" is not a report.
