Black & White Photography Magazine- I think not
I had a browse at this month's edition of Black & White Photography (UK) and from what I could see every photo in it was a shade of sepia tone even the adds. I know that more and more people are now toning their prints, but surely not everyone.

It does seem to the fashion of the moment.

The digital age has made it easer to tone so every body is at it.
Sorry mentioned the D word

If that's the case maybe they feel it makes it look like a proper print!

My own preference is for a clean bright white paper base with neutral blacks as I like a more Black & White look, but as I said, it`s all a matter of each individuals own personal preferences. |

People are more likely to experement now adays because they beleve that it is not costing them so if it gos wrong or they dont like it they have not lost a lot.
There a lot of sheep minded people out there. If one does it they have to too.

It is indeed a personal choice, but even then we may have to admit to being influenced by fashion. People generally like to conform, even photographers.
I can remember when prints had but two tones, black and white, with nought in between, and were even mounted on black card. I happen to like brown toned prints, so for once in my life can claim to be fashionable, a bit late but I got there in the end. |

Fashions come and go, do anything for long enough and it will come around again all bright and new. It give use all a chance to shine.
No critisism intended.

I never cared for the look of prints from certain types of high-contrast film negatives either such as some of the old slow ortho-films, but obviously some people did. Again, it`s just personal preference.
