ESSENCE MONO (black and white): the new studio Pope photo filters

ESSENCE MONO (black and white): FOR THOSE WHO WANT BLACK AND WHITE WITH FEELING, CHARACTER AND SPACE FOR THE REAL STORY. 

The ESSENCE MONO is a series of black and white photo filters. They are for those who love timeless images with a lot of soul and an analogue edge. From powerful silhouettes to soft cinematic black and white tones that fit perfectly with intimate moments, newborns or personal work. These presets are ideal for those who prefer a documentary style, work with natural light, or are looking for simplicity without coldness. They bring structure, peace and emotion — and give both your (family) life and your business content their own, recognizable style. User-friendly on smartphone and can be used professionally.

Compared to the black and white preset from our previous set, these performances are softer, more tactile and more varied. They were designed for timelessness and versatility. The aesthetic is cinematic, but never heavy. The emphasis is on detail, atmosphere and simplicity - in keeping with the idea that the essence of an image sometimes becomes visible when you remove color.

Essence MONO I - SILHOUETTE for images that play with shape, contrast and composition.
Its name says it all: this black and white preset emphasizes the silhouette: graphic and powerful, without distraction. With deep black tones, bright whites and a strong contrast that sharpens lines and draws the eye to the essence. 

Features:

• Graphic
• Powerful
• Black blacks
• Bright whites
• Stronger contrast
• Focus on form and composition
• Put the silhouette center stage

ESSENCE MONO II - DUST for black and white images with a warmer, natural look.
This preset allows more detail in the shadows and gives grayscale space to breathe. The result is a slightly rougher, tactile look: less graphic, more earthy. Ideal for those looking for nuance and softness, without sacrificing character.

Features:

• Warmer & rougher
• More detail in the shadows
• Organic black and white look
• Gray gets more space
• Less harsh, more nuance

ESSENCE MONO III – LUCID for black and white that breathes. 
Airy and melancholic at the same time, with soft gray tones and smooth transitions. The grain adds an analogue and cinematic feel, while the contrast remains deliberately low. This preset relies on subtlety: for those who want to tell stories softly and look for images that dare to dream. 

Features:

• Airy
• Soft gray tones
• Little contrast
• Cinematic
• Analog grain
• Soft transitions
• Melancholic
