Hi, in general I can advise you to read this article on the skylum website. There is quite a detailed answer to your question. However, if you want my opinion I would prefer glossy paper. This type of paper allows you to provide not only high color brightness and contrast. For this reason, it is perfect for creating images with high contrast. Therefore, I would choose this type of paper if I were you. However, you may also like another type of paper, because it works well for other photos.

For black and white photography, I've actually found that the paper choice matters even more than with color. I personally prefer Lustre for most of my B&W work - it has a nice subtle texture that adds depth without the distracting glare you get from glossy. But honestly, the right choice really depends on the specific images and the look you're going for

I agree about Lustre being a good all-around choice for B&W. Once I started getting serious about displaying my photography, I realized that framing makes just as much impact as paper choice. I've been using a service specializing in art frames uk for my exhibition pieces - they helped me select frames that complement the monochrome images rather than competing with them. The right combination of mat color, frame style and glass type can dramatically enhance black and white prints. I learned that even the spacing between the print and the frame affects how the final piece looks
