Black & White SOOC or filter?

Our take

In the world of photography, the choice between shooting black and white straight out of the camera (SOOC) versus converting to black and white in post-production sparks intriguing debate. While both methods can yield striking images, there may be subtle differences in tonal quality and depth. For street photographers drawn to architectural subjects, understanding these nuances can enhance your creative expression.

I was curious if there was a true difference between shooting B&W straight out of the camera versus converting to B&W in post? Is it not just a filter either way?

For context, I thought I would enjoy street photography, but I always end up pointing towards the buildings downtown and not the people. I tend to shoot in color but find myself adding a B&W filter and am curious if I am losing image quality this way?

Thank you!
