The Soul of Photography

Philipp Weinmann went out and about with the new Leica Q2 Monochrom

"This may sound paradoxical, but I experience the reduction to black and white as very enriching."

2 Emotions - P.Weinmann

"Photography enables
us to engage in a
deeper exploration of our
own selves, and tune into
our internal reality.

That’s why I initially focus on my own response to the images I create – and then I’m very pleased if they also elicit emotions from other people."

"But what is it that I find so fascinating about black and white photography?

Why does this photographic style have such a calming effect on me? For me, this process has been like a journey to myself."
