Leica Gallery London

Thomas Hoepker is widely recognised for his personal humility, tight visual statements and refined imagery. His work is utterly committed to the truth and captures the quiet and everyday - he is a true example of the concerned photographer - and still after over 60 years of taking photographs is considered one of the greatest representatives of humanistic photojournalism. His photographs are world-renowned and are held in both International and private collections.

Leica Gallery London is pleased to announce the first UK exhibition of the internationally acclaimed series 'Coexist' by the German photographer and film director Franziska Stünkel.

Leica Camera UK is proud to collaborate with the Estate of Werner Bischof and bring to London for the first time oversized prints of some of Bischof's most revered icons. All prints in the exhibition are for sale.

Jocelyn Bain Hogg has covered fashion for Vogue, documented events for the Sunday Times Magazine and spent 10 years of his life living with some of London's most notorious gangsters.

Acclaimed street photographer, Phil Penman, will show a selling exhibition of his work at Leica Gallery London from 12th April 2021.

After World War II, the South African government gradually developed rules and regulations to preserve the country’s white minority – a state of being more commonly known as Apartheid. The British photographer Ian Berry recorded this aspect of South African society and the resulting racial tensions, social difficulties and unnatural way that people, who could co-exist happily, were commanded to spend their lives Living Apart, hence the title of his nationally exhibited body of work and sell-out book was born.

“There is only one famous person in the book,” says Chris Steele-Perkins of his photobook The Pleasure Principle. “It was a deliberate choice as I wanted the book to be about ‘ordinary’ people.

In 1988 Dafydd Jones was invited to New York by the journalist and editor Tina Brown to cover parties for Vanity Fair magazine initially for a month's try-out.

The exhibition at Leica Gallery London will showcase for the first time new diptychs by the artist – portraits of human characters paired with animals. Gonnord draws on the rich visual tapestry of time-old fables bringing to life the idea of a mythical animal or magical creature and then fitting this being with its human counterpart.

The images in the exhibition are largely drawn from Nan Goldins seminal social document or as she refers to it ‘the diary I allow people to read’.

‘I learned, I think everything I know about being an artist, using a Leica on the streets. It taught me to understand human nature and to predict even the kinds of little things that might be happening. It has engaged my curiosity with the world and the meaning that comes out of the world. It’s really been an instrument of my education and development as an artist. That’s a mighty tool.’ Joel Meyerowitz
