Make room for monochrome
A black-and-white interpretation can simplify a scene. Watch the separation between hair, dark clothing and the background instead of judging contrast alone.
A style, not a sensor
There is no single Leica look. These independent edits cannot reproduce the optics of a lens or the response of a monochrome sensor.

Look closely.
Then make it yours.
