Grand Opening: Leica Store
Los Angeles and Leica Gallery Los Angeles, June 21st to 23rd.
The grand opening celebration
for the latest Leica sore in Los Angeles will take place this month from the 21st
to the 23rd. Along with the
new store, Leica will also have a new Leica gallery with an exciting
exhibition.
In the Gallery: Mary Ellen Mark - "Leica, My
First Camera"
Mary Ellen Mark’s
photographs are renowned the world over and span the genres of NY Street
photography, photojournalism and portraiture.
Her main interest has always
been social issues that this career survey of iconic gelatin silver prints
embodies. The Leica Gallery Los Angeles exhibition will present prints from her
NY street images and iconic "Indian Circus" images. In addition, the
exhibition also features Mark’s legendary Hollywood celebrity portraiture from her
new book "Scene Behind The Scene".
Yariv Milchan - "Leica ... An Affair"
Photographer and film
producer Yariv Milchan grew up with Hollywood for his backyard, surrounded by
the magic and wonder of the filmmaking world and its beautiful movie star
inhabitants. Yariv’s photographs always share a depth and beauty, whether
he focuses his lens on the stunning California landscape or the sinuous
curvature of a woman’s back. The common thread always sewing his body of
work together is his love of capturing great light, nature and beauty above
all.
Seal - "Stopping Time"
Seal, a self proclaimed
"photography geek," and ambassador for Leica, views his photographic
practice as a means of "connecting" to people and "stopping
time." His favorite subjects are people and portraiture. Seal has been a
loyal Leica Camera collector for 25 years. He started shooting 35mm on the
original M3, and now uses a range of cameras including the new Leica Monochrom.
