THE MONOCHROME EXPERIENCE

Timeless. Striking. Unmistakable.

In a world filled with fleeting moments and color-saturated distractions, The Monochrome Experience is a return to the essence of portraiture—raw, refined, and profoundly timeless.

This is more than a photoshoot. It’s an artful study of light and shadow, where every frame captures not just how you look, but who you are. Each portrait is meticulously crafted using the legendary Leica camera, renowned for its unparalleled depth, clarity, and cinematic beauty. The result? A striking black-and-white image that transcends photography and becomes a statement piece—one that feels as though it belongs in a gallery, yet is deeply personal to you.

MICHAEL JUSTIN

With 15 years of experience as a professional photographer, I’ve learned that the best portraits come from connection. The Monochrome Experience is more than just black-and-white imagery—it’s about stripping away distractions to reveal something real, something true. My approach is built on trust and understanding, creating an environment where my subjects feel comfortable and seen. The result? Striking, honest portraits that aren’t just images but reflections of who you are.

FAQs

What's The Cost & What's Included

To kick off The Monochrome Experience, I’m offering a limited number of limited (mini) sessions—your chance to try it out at a special rate: $200

What’s Included:

  • 15 minute Photoshoot with Michael Justin Studios
  • One outfit
  • 2 High Resolution Digital Images Included
  • Purchase additional images at $50/each
  • $300 full buyout of gallery (total cost for session and all  digitals=$500)

Where Will These Photos Be Taken?

The Monochrome Experience will be photographed at my home studio in New Canaan. The studio is a separate space in my home with easy access on ground level. 

What Should I/We Wear?

Since The Monochrome Experience is shot exclusively in Black and White, colors aren’t as important! Shades of darks/lights are!  I recommend solid colors so try to avoid patterns or busy graphics. If you check out the sample photos, you can see how the dark/light colors photograph. 

Who Should Book 2 Timeslots?

I recommend anyone who wants more than 1 outfit or has more than 2 children (when doing a family shoot), to book back-to-back slots.

Can I Reschedule my booked session?

I understand that things come up, especially during this time of year when illnesses are common. If you need to reschedule on the day of your session, you have two options:

  1. Apply your session fee toward a custom session, giving you the flexibility to choose a date that works best for you. 

  2. Postpone until my next Limited Session Marathon (date TBD), with a $100 rescheduling fee.

Can I Also Get Images In Color?

No because the Leica camera only shoots in Monochrome!
