There's a sense of vibrancy that only black and white pictures can portray.

All the different shades between black and white mix together to produce an image with a collective meaning, they are not separate. A monochromic image captures light as how it is presented, and give out a result as how it is imagined to be. In terms of the interpretation, most of the time it is more vibrant than that of an image with fully saturated colours.

So, no, black and white photography is not safe. It is just honest.
