LEICA PICTURE OF THE YEAR 2023

Wetzlar, 12th October 2023. This year, Leica Picture of the Year collectors can look forward to a very special motif by New York Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt. The limited edition print of Bulldogs, which is only available through Leica Galleries, is one of Erwitt’s signature dog pictures.

By LR admin | Published: October 9, 2023

The next LFI magazine (7/2023) will be delayed until October 30th because of a “postponed product launch” and an “extended embargo“. I am not sure if this is for the already rumored Leica M11-P camera or for another new/upcoming Leica product (see what’s next for Leica).
