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.

Photographing with the Q2 Monochrom felt effortless and free
The camera system’s minimalism allowed me to fully concentrate on my composition and the nature of the light.

I was very impressed by the camera’s low noise level. Especially the sustained richness of details at higher ISO settings is truly remarkable.
