The Return of Spot Color Black and White Photos on Instagram

For many, many years photographers hated the spot color look. Spot color, for those of you who haven't been into photography for more than maybe five years, is when a black and white photo is created but only a specific single color is kept.

The problem is that if that color was spread through the entire scene in some way or another, it wouldn't be as effective. These days on Instagram, lots of photographers do it VERY effectively so much so that it's a trend again. The technology and artists have become better and typically use the color in the scene to help draw the viewer's eyes into a specific part of the scene. .
