Mary McCartney's Leica M11-P Moments

Mary McCartney is a world-renowned portrait and fine art photographer. As a leading British creative, her visual practice is deeply rooted in her passion for impactful storytelling.

Mary’s journey began with Leica when her mother gifted her a Leica R7. “I have favored Leica ever since”, says Mary. “When I pick up a Leica, it makes me feel just that little bit more inspired. I love the lenses and the classic, no-fuss design. And the sound of the shutter release button when I press it down is like nothing else, so satisfying. It makes me feel at home.”

I’ve explored so many cameras, but the Leica M11-P is my favourite because it’s so understated, it makes me want to take pictures.

In Mary’s street photography, the ability to remain unnoticed is key to capturing authentic, unfiltered moments. The Leica M11-P is highly valued for its minimalist design, which deliberately forgoes with the iconic red dot, which might draw attention. This discreet approach allows photographers to immerse themselves in the scene without disrupting it. For street photographers, staying discreet isn’t just a preference – it’s a vital part of their craft.

“I love wandering the streets with my camera, and just searching for a photograph, like a moment in life that someone else would typically walk by.” - Mary McCartney
