“People often associate black and white with the terms classic or vintage. I have been hugely inspired by the old school film monochrome work of some of the greats, and aspire to get some of that tonality and feel into my work sometimes. But what really excites me as a photographer is the question: where do we go from this? Part of my take on photography has explored pushing contrast levels to the edge of what is possible, exploiting the creative options we are afforded by the incredible technology we have today from digital sensors and the new age of ultra high resolution lens design, and of course training my eye to see such opportunities. I love the idea of combining the clean sharpness of digital with the tones of black and white film. I shall always appreciate and incorporate the aesthetics and philosophies from the photographers who laid down the path for us today but I believe there is a lot left to explore in the world of monochrome photography as technology and the world around us advances. I intend to do my bit to seek it out! These photographs were all captured in my home city of London on the Leica M10 Monochrom with M lenses.” - @alan_schaller . . . #leicacamerausa #leicamonochrommoments #leicamonochrom #leicam10monochrom
