Leica Love: Black and White Film Photography in Skateboarding with Fred Mortagne

In this video French photographer Fred Mortagne (website) talks us through his passion for shooting black and white film and why he prefers to capture images that are not perfect replicas of reality. But despite his passion for analog, the Leica M Monochrom tempts him to convert to shooting digital black and white as well.
