Leica M
The Essence of Simplicity
In Riley Harper’s hands, the Leica M becomes an extension of self, and with it, a sense of belonging to something greater. Each moment captured ties his story to a greater one, shared by all who see the world through the Leica M.
A Photographer’s Way of Seeing
For photographer and storyteller Riley Harper, the Leica M is more than a companion - it is part of his creative identity. Moving seamlessly between digital and analogue, he finds the same instinctive simplicity in every frame. Intuitive and unobtrusive, the rangefinder invites him to slow down, notice what others might miss, and capture the fleeting moments that make each story unforgettable.
An Extension of Self
The Leica M rangefinder is designed to feel instinctive. Guided by your eye, it becomes part of who you are, always present but never intrusive. It moves with you, responding with precision yet leaving space for intuition. In every situation, the Leica M feels like it belongs - a trusted companion that turns vision into memory.
“Shooting with a rangefinder forces me to slow down, to be truly present.”
Riley Harper

For over 70 years, the Leica M rangefinder has defined a way of seeing that is intuitive, direct and enduring. Built on simplicity, it remains a defining icon at the heart of a legacy that lives on. More than just technology, it connects photographer and subject in the most authentic way. Rangefinder photography remains a timeless pursuit, with M-System models continuing to be available for those who seek to capture the world with intention. It is an invitation to join a shared tradition of visionaries driven by a desire to create.
Riley's Cameras
From timeless analogue film to cutting-edge digital, Riley uses the Leica M-System to create with freedom.
Riley Harper is a professional stuntman and photographer, balancing his time between two crafts. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he grew up on film sets and began documenting his travels while working on movies in his early teens. That early exposure to film making shaped the way he sees the world, and today his photography blends narrative with a sense of adventure. Specializing in automotive, lifestyle, and travel imagery, Riley favors tools that slow him down and encourage presence. Most often his Leica MP, and Leica M11-P.
