Leica photographers are
now able to experience the fascination of Leica photography worldwide. The newly founded GLOBAL LEICA AKADEMIE, will
expand the existing international Leica Academies to a noticeably larger
network.
The Leica Academy has a
long tradition. For almost ninety years, as the oldest and most renowned of all
modern photography schools, ambitious photographers have been guided on to the
best possible images. The Leica Academy has been expanding internationally for
over a decade. Currently, interested parties can already experience the
versatile program around Leica photography in North America, Europe, Asia and
Australia. There are a total of 15 Leica academies around the world. With the
newly founded Global Leica Academy, this network is to be gradually expanded.
Accompanying this will be
a new event program that, for example, offers participants from all over the
world photo trips within Germany, stationed at Leitz-Park Wetzlar with exclusive insights into the Leica Erlebniswelt.
"The workshops and
photo tours of the international Leica academies are aimed at those who are
passionate about photography. It does not matter if the participants are
experienced photographers or newcomers. It is the Leica Akademie’s goal to further develop their technical
skills, to sensitize them to fascinating photo situations and to provide new
perspectives and perspectives on personal development ", says Udo Zell,
Head of the Global Leica Academy, who has been working for the company for 38
years. Since 2002, the Academy has been under his leadership nationally and
internationally. With the Global Leica Academy, he wants to create a network
around the globe and bring photography to life on the highest level - be it
product-related, creative or informative.

The fact that every
customer in the Global Leica Academy can continue to focus on the world and
develop their own imagery is his vision. His publications in numerous
magazines, exhibitions and lectures as well as television and radio
contributions show both his enthusiasm for, and his high standards of
photography.
The new program of events
of the Global Leica Academy comprises three multi-day tours with the following
destinations: "South Germany", "Thuringia - Saxony -
Berlin" and "Mystic Rhine Valley". All photo tours will start on
15 June 2018 at Leitz Park Wetzlar with the opening event of the new Leitz Park
III and will be continued from there in the individual regions of Germany.
The origins of the Leica
Academy date back to 1930. At that time, the "Lehr-Atelier Wetzlar"
laid the foundation for the training courses at the Leitz plants in Wetzlar. In
1938, the "Leica School" was founded, focusing on application
technology for physicians, scientists and criminologists. After the Second
World War, photography classes for American occupation soldiers took place in
1945 under the name "Leica School". As part of the reconstruction,
the founding fathers of the former Leica School expanded the educational offer.
Thus, in addition to the "Leica School", the "Leica
Technik" also became an institution.
In 1988 it was renamed Leica Academy. The team as well as the offers of workshops and photo tours were
steadily expanded and branch offices in Upper Bavaria, in the Baltic Sea resort
Zingst and in the Dachstein region in Austria were established. Since then workshops under the direction of
renowned photographers and participation of a local expert photo
professionals take place. Today, the Leica Academy is represented in Australia,
China, France, Germany, England, Greece, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Austria, Portugal,
Russia, Switzerland, Singapore and the USA.

details of the individual tours can be found here.
