As a camera and optics brand, Leica has been deeply involved in not only the production but the culture of photography since its inception. The brand’s passion for this art form is still something that it heavily involves itself in today. For Leica, photography has always been at the forefront of its thoughts and actions; Leica is photography. It is then befitting that for the third year running, Leica Camera will be the Official Partner of Photo London and is proud to host the Leica Collector’s Lounge.
This year will see a record number of exhibitors including 100 of the world’s leading galleries at the world-class photography fair which will showcase the very best of the past, present and future of photography to its international audience. Guests can attend from 17th – 20th May (press preview: 16th May) at Somerset House to experience new work by established masters and rare vintage pieces alongside work from emerging artists as well. Leica Camera will join these highly anticipated collections of work with their own exclusive exhibition: Farm Boys and Farm Girls USA by Magnum Photographer Bruce Gilden.
Amelia Earhart’s Leica camera is currently listed for sale on eBay for £50,000 (around $69,000).
