Take a shitty photo with le nostalgia vibes
Bonus points if the subject is slightly out of focus
Convert to b&w, et voila

Protect your highlights.
Because you're limited to tones of grey, black and white, you need to find subjects where this is beneficial and not a hindrance.
Soft gradients. Shadows. Chiaroscuro and tenebrism. The contrast between light and dark. Black and white photography works well with architecture because it's serves to define structures and features. With models you have to think about it as if you are working with charcoal and paper. Where do you want highlights to be? What are you focusing on? And what do you want to be hidden.

Got to have some white and black, dont make it all grey
