Walking through Paris with the Leica M11 Monochrom felt like seeing the city in its purest form. Without color, every frame focused on light, shadow, and emotion — the essence of street photography.

We spent the day moving through classic Parisian scenes: people at cafés, scooters weaving through traffic, dogs crossing the street, and quiet moments on busy sidewalks. The M11 Monochrom captured every detail — the reflections on car windows, the texture of old buildings, and the rhythm of daily life — with incredible depth and contrast.

Shooting in black and white wasn’t a choice; it was the camera’s DNA. And that restriction turned into freedom — allowing us to see form, geometry, and human stories more clearly than ever. Paris, with its timeless charm, felt made for it.
