LFI Magazine

Starting in the mid fifties and equipped with a Leica, Robert Frank began to create one of the most important books of 20th century photography – see a tribute to ‘The Americans’ in the current issue. In addition, Omar Al-Jiwari introduces you to Senegalese street life and Rena Effendi takes you to a Moroccan rose festival. Also in the magazine: Socialist architecture staged by Anush Babajanyan and Norman fishermen by Ciro Battiloro.

In the technical section of this issue, you can find out more about the new Leica M11 Glossy Black as well as Leica’s 4K laser projector and read an interview with the Kaufmann family, who have been heading Leica Camera for 20 years.

During a visit to the House of Slaves on the island of Gorée, a number of motifs passed in front of the photographer’s lens. However, it was only with the late afternoon sun that Al-Jiwari was able to capture the desired mood and symbolic power appropriate to this historic place.
