A Day in Tokyo
Walking Around Tokyo
For Nagisa Ichikawa, photography is a source of pure joy: discovering a play of light, an expression, or a fleeting moment amidst everyday life. The D-Lux 8 is always at the ready to help her capture fleeting moments in Tokyo. The compact camera is not a tool Nagisa has to stop and take out; it’s simply there when she needs it. The photographer demonstrates that inspiration can often be found in everyday life, from spontaneous snapshots to carefully thought-out compositions.
“The Leica D-Lux 8 is a wonderful camera that is just as easy to carry with you as a smartphone.”

It All Comes Down to Perspective
For Nagisa, photography is more a matter of perspective than equipment. The important thing for her is what she sees and wants to capture, not how she does it. The Leica D-Lux 8 is light and compact, which is exactly why Nagisa takes it with her everywhere. Although the automatic modes deliver excellent results at the touch of a button, the photographer prefers to take control of the focus and exposure herself. She can always rely on her D-Lux 8, and she can control it exactly as she wishes.
Always Connected
Nagisa uses the Leica FOTOS App to connect her camera to her smartphone, allowing her to effortlessly capture and share photos on the go. The Leica D-Lux 8 supports both RAW and JPG files, as well as integrating seamlessly with Adobe Lightroom. This software is Nagisa’s favorite tool for image editing.

“Ever since I acquired a Leica M3 a few years ago, I have rediscovered the joy of seeing the world through a viewfinder and visualizing the image before capturing it. The fact that the Leica D-Lux 8 features an electronic viewfinder despite its compact body makes the experience of taking pictures with a real camera even more enjoyable. Especially today, when many people of my generation have become accustomed to relying on screens.”
