Dear Leica Customer, Leica Camera is pleased to announce an expanded 2012-2013 schedule for the Leica Akademie North America.

From one-day photographic lectures to all-inclusive weeklong adventures, the Leica Akademie 2012-2013 expanded program offers a diverse series of exciting programs, encouraging the development of well-rounded photographers across North America. 


Leica M Monochrom Workshops
Explore the world of Black and White with the world’s first digital rangefinder camera exclusively for full-frame, 35mm black-and-white photography. This workshop will take you from theory to practice as you "test drive" the Leica M Monochrom. Along the way, you will learn not only what makes this camera special, but also discover the steps needed to pre-visualize scenes in black and white and explore new ways of seeing lighting, texture, contrast and tonal gradation.
