"....There’s a simplicity to black and white photography that makes it one of the hardest or easiest spaces to explore visual storytelling. The removal of colour adds a layer of abstraction that can invite more scrutiny of an image’s context. Or, it can act as a safety blanket for the many men who like to cosplay as photography experts on the internet."
- Gajan Balan, from his review of the Leica M11 Monochrom.
Balan is a Leica "Ambassador" and talented video maker, story teller and, of course, photographer.
