“Creativity always works best when we find the courage to question ingrained thought and behaviour patterns, and dare to follow paths as yet unknown.”

This new book is like an inspiring visit to a gallery. Heidi and Robert Mertens have curated outstanding pictures taken by 76 Leica Akademie photographers from 16 countries worldwide, and have presented them in an original layout. In the words of the authors, each picture tells a story that will bring you further along your unfolding photographic journey. You will learn how to recognize and capture decisive moments, how to change your perspective to gain creative opportunities, how to let rules be rules, and how to reveal less, yet imply much more.
