LEICA AKADEMIE MASTERCLASS NYC

Thank you to everyone who attended this past weekend's Leica Akademie Street Photography Masterclass in New York. The experience of meeting and teaching such a talented group was deeply rewarding.

 

We spent the weekend exploring the vibrant life of NYC, and there’s no better place to practice than on 5th Avenue, where the city’s pulse is strongest. It was inspiring to see each of you approach the challenge of 'the decisive moment' with such focus and creativity.

 

The image shared here captures just a fraction of the energy we found. I hope you left the masterclass feeling energized and equipped with new tools for your photography. I wish everyone continued success and the best of luck in their photographic journeys."
