Beijing diary with the Leica MP 240 by Pierre Alivon

Beijing diary with the Leica MP 240 by Pierre Alivon:

I moved to Beijing a few weeks ago and started a one-year photo project with my Leica MP 240. I focus on street life and people’s daily activities to show how life is in Beijing. I use different lenses depending on weather conditions, timing and my own program during the day. The most convenient lens for me is Summicron-C 40 as it is quite multipurpose (between 35mm-50mm) and extremely light as the same time. When the weather conditions are quite bad with the typical Beijing “smog” combined with low light, I use the Summicron-M 35. For unexpected scenes to be shot, Vario Elmar-35-70 is very useful. Finally, I like to make some black & white pictures and I am very satisfied with my Russar MR-2 20mm f/5.6 which is compact and enables me to be right in the middle of a scene while being very discreet. However this lens cannot be used for color pictures due to too many chromatic aberrations. I easily dare to go close to people to take pictures but I still need somehow quite discreet material not to be perceived as a photo reporter. That is why my Leica camera and my Leica lenses are perfect for this project – I created a new website at www.memoriesoftheworld.fr and I post new pictures everyday on Twitter, Instagram and on Tumblr:

Leica Camera and Magnum Photos announce ‘Sound of Harris’: a new exhibition from Olivia Arthur and Philipp Ebeling

Leica Camera and Magnum Photos have unveiled an exciting new body of work by Magnum photographer, Olivia Arthur, in collaboration with Philipp Ebeling, entitled ‘Sound of Harris’. The project was commissioned by Leica and shot on the Leica M (Typ 240), and will be exhibited at the Leica Studio in Mayfair in December 2015.

Sound of Harris, which is named after the stretch of sea that runs directly below the Isle of Harris in Scotland, is a photographic journey into the Outer Hebrides, guided by centuries-old stories of the land and tales of the sea. The remote islands – and the harsh conditions in which people work to make a living – have inspired stories and a tradition of storytelling that is as rich as the islands are barren.
