Leica Monochrom-246, 50mm APO-Summicron-Asph
Last week, we published our personal faves among the various color photographs we took and published in 2016. We understand that photographers tend to be known by a particular “look” and sensibility, that many feel the need to commit to either black and white or color. We couldn’t if we tried.
We look deeply saturated colors — and the purity of monochrome. We love going out some days with our Leica Monochrom in hand, viewing the world in black and white just as if we had a camera loaded with Tri-X Pan. On those days when we are either deliberately shooting monochrome, or in the end, that’s the way we process them, we are just as happy, and in some ways even more so than when we shoot color. We love grey scale, tonalities, the otherness and permanence of an image in black and white.
The one above is our favorite for the year. Below, in no order, are our nine others. And for those who like black and white photography, we think you’ll like the galleries on our sister site, Tulip Frenzy Photography.
