I don’t try to document what I see, I’m thinking about the emotional quality of the image.
Andre D. Wagner

In 2013, Andre D. Wagner tried a Leica camera for the first time – and it was love at first click. When the black-and-white photographer explores New York City with the Leica M11 Monochrom, he becomes one with his camera. Its compactness and intuitive operation make it a natural extension of his eye. The camera was created as a declaration of love to black-and-white photography, and thus for all those who indulge in this photographic art form. Like Andre D. Wagner, who discovers true artistic freedom in the supposed limitation of black-and-white photography.
