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.
