Black and White: portraits of interracial couples
Photographer Robert Kalman is also telling cross-cultural stories, through photographs.
Robert’s Black and White project is a collection of portraits of interracial couples.
The people captured have origins in many different countries but what they have in common is that they are all in a cross-cultural or interracial relationship. Through Robert’s photographs you get a glimpse of their lives, even if only for a moment.
Photographs taken with permission from Robert Kalman.
Via Collazo Projects, who were photographed for the project. Read about it here.
UPDATE (12th October 2009): Robert Kalman has just published a book of his project, called ‘No difference between them’. It’s on sale here.

I found your site in blogcatalog and I really loved it!
I was going through something like that when I had a crush on one of my friends who was a western.

Middle Eastern: I’d love to read your story – when you’re ready of course. Maybe it can help other readers in the same situation as well.
Laura: same for you – I’d love to hear from you if you ever feel like writing about your interracial relationship. The photos are great, aren’t they?
I wrote to Robert Kalman to check he was ok with the post and he sent a poem which inspired the working title of the project. I really liked it:
There was a boy
with skin as dark
as the earth
& a girl with eyes
as blue
as the deep
& they loved each other
so well that people could
not tell them apart,
for in their hearts,
there was
no difference
between them.

Hi, Liz,
Thanks for continuing to praise my pictures. It’s been wonderful meeting so many couples and having them allow us to photograph them.
The pictures will become a book sometime at the end of this year. I will let you know when it’s published. A wonderful writer, Heidi Durrow, has written the introduction.
Best,
Bob Kalman
