The technique comes first, followed by the subject, scene, details and aspect ratio. Paste it straight into an image model and swap in your own subject.

Monochrome image, only a single warm brown hue in the whole frame, every layer built from light and dark. In an old-fashioned barbershop, the barber shaves a customer; the old mirror on the wall, the leather chair and the towels all sit within the same warm brown. 3:2, no second color, detail kept in the shadows.

Common pitfalls

A second color mixes in and the monochrome breaks.
Everything the same brightness, so front and back stick together.

Parameter tips

Get the light and dark relationships right in black and white first, then add color.
