Love in Black & White

By Mary Motley Kalergis

Love in Black & White by Mary Motley Kalergis is an intimate documentary portrait of interracial couples and families in America. Through striking black-and-white photography and deeply personal interviews, Kalergis explores the realities of love across racial boundaries - not as abstraction or ideology, but as lived human experience.

The couples portrayed in these pages speak candidly about attraction, marriage, family, prejudice, identity, and belonging. Their stories reveal tenderness, resilience, humor, conflict, and the quiet negotiations required to build a shared life in a society often shaped by racial division.

With empathy and restraint, Kalergis creates space for her subjects to speak in their own voices. The result is both a visual documentary and an oral history: a moving record of relationships that challenge assumptions while affirming the enduring complexity of human connection.

Originally published by Dafina Books, Love in Black & White remains a powerful exploration of intimacy, race, and American life through the lens of documentary photography and storytelling.
