Nobuyoshi Araki - Love by Leica
Leica Gallery Vienna
From May 27 to September 3, 2016 the Leica gallery in Vienna presents pictures of the famous Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. Centerpiece of the exhibition is the series Love by Leica rfrom2006, an atmospheric collection of portraits of women and nudes in black and white, photographed by Araki with an analog Leica M7.
Besides the nudes, the exhibition shows large-format color prints from the project Flowers and Jamorinsky (2005-2006), a continuation of a previous series of flower themes. The works tell of the withering of exotic flowers, of decay, and nostalgia.

Leica Oskar Barnack Preis 2016
Leica is always good for a
surprise. They announced that after a
relatively long time this year’s winners of the prestigious Oskar Barnack Prize
will once again be awarded in Germany. For
many years this event took place at the Fotofestival
Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie at the city of Arles in
southern France.
The announcement of the
winners will take place on September 28, 2016 in Berlin. According to Leica, the award is deliberately returning
to the roots of its name carrier near the birthplace of Oskar Barnack in Lynow.
The professional career of
the inventor of the famous miniature camera, the "Ur-Leica" began in
the capital of Germany. It was here that
Barnack went to the Giesendorfer school in Berlin. The school is still in existence today. In 1959 a nearby street was named “Barnackufer”
(Barnack Shore) in honor of its famous student.
Approximately 3200
photographers from 108 countries entered this year’s competition, thus almost
doubling the number of participants of last year’s competition, a new record.
The series of photographs
of twelve finalists from the two categories "Leica Oskar Barnack
Award" and "Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award" will be
announced on June 15, 2016. The jury members
this year are: Karin Rehn-Kaufmann, Art Director Leica Galleries International
in Salzburg, JH Engström, photographer and previous winner from Karlstad,
Sweden, Christine Ollier, Art Director Galerie Filles du Calvaire, Paris, Chris
Boot, Executive Director Aperture Foundation, New York and Lorenza Bravetta,
Director Camera - Italian center for Photography in Turin.
As part of the photo
contest "Leica Oskar Barnack Award” an audience prize will also be awarded. The winner will be chosen via online voting
on the website for online photo contests www.i-shot-it.com. The winner in this
category will receive a cash prize of 2,500 euros. Among the participants of
this competition Leica compact cameras will also be given away as prizes.
