Behind the scenes with the SL2

British photographer Charlie Gray is considered a master storyteller. His playful portraits and poetic fashion shots take inspiration from his early documentary projects and his love for theatre. He has photographed some of today's most iconic personalities and continues to capture the future faces of film and theatre. Despite his tight deadlines on set, Charlie continues to shoot imagery that regularly features in global publications, relying fully on his Leica SL2.

With the Leica SL2 and its automatic face detection, I manage to turn my photographic ideas into reality – even when things have to happen quickly, as is so often the case.

Charlie Gray

“I travel so much that I absolutely must avoid any and all problems with my equipment on the road. That's why I shoot exclusively with Leica. I use my SL2 with SL-Lenses, as well as with Leica S-Lenses thanks to the adapters. So I'm always equipped for anything.”
