black & white previews
All colour images are also available as black & white prints. The b&w previews offered here are produced by simply desaturating the image via Javascript. The result is a neutral b&w preview which may appear flat or too dark/bright. Before printing, however, each image is individually assessed and adjusted for best contrast, tonal quality, and dynamic range.

Construction on the Ayasofya (Hagia Sofia) started under Constantin in the 5th century but the final form was reached after reconstruction under emperor Justinian in the 6th century. After the end of the Byzantine empire the church was converted to a mosque and since 1935 it is a museum.
