There certainly are a large number of well-known photographers that rely on Leica cameras. But like so often in life, there are a large number of unknown heroes that use Leica equipment very much to their advantage also.
My article about the Leica Digilux 2 (Leica's First Mirrorless Camera) from April 10 created a lot more interest than I expected. After all, it is a relatively old camera that does not measure up to what Leica has to offer now.
Yet the camera is capable to produce high quality photographs, even by today’s standards. As I explained, it was my first digital Leica. It has done a great job for me. I still like to use it, even though I have long since graduated to a Leica M240 with a large compliment of lenses.
Rather than sitting on a shelf, I turned the Digilux 2 over to my wife Monika Kopeć. She has a degree in Art History from the University of Minnesota and she also graduated from the School of Communication Arts in Minneapolis. Combined with what I consider excellent photographic skills, she has produced some very good photographs with that camera. Even though the the Digilux 2 is her main camera, she has produced some excellent work with other cameras (medium format and large format) as well.
Rather than trying to put her work with the Digilux 2 into words, it is obviously much better to show a selection of her work done with that camera. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

The picture of the street scene in Frankfurt is an excellent example of street photography
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent range of different photographs. They show a photographer of great talent
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the portrait studio shot with a Sinar camera has been taken. It is quite intriguing.
ReplyDeleteAn enlargement of the initial portrait was covered with a window screen which had been partially blacked out with thick, black paint. That allowed to have only very few of the black pixels toward the center, increasing the areas covered toward the outer parameter of the image. The result is an apparent pixelation.
