Leica Looks
Images taken with a Leica speak a distinct language. Their typical visual style immediately catches your eye. Give your images an even more distinctive aesthetic. The select Leica Looks take effect as soon as the shutter is released, with no post-processing required. You simply have to choose one of the preinstalled Core Looks or one of the creative Essential or Artist Looks. You see the selected Look immediately on the camera’s Live View. Cast your world in a new light and playfully expand your creative horizons.
The Leica Artist Looks
Images by famous photographers show a lot more than just their subjects: they embody aesthetics as well as conveying style, personality and attitude. Every time you take a picture, you document, comment on, interpret or orchestrate the moment through your unique perspective. Together with renowned photographers, we have developed Leica Artist Looks, allowing you to tell the story of the moments you capture using the visual language of iconic artists.
The Artist Look by Greg Williams – WLM
British photographer Greg Williams’ bold attitude creates a true sense of closeness to his subjects. Taking a documentary approach, he combines authenticity with aesthetics in his black-and-white imagery. The results are intimate, genuine and timeless portraits – capturing real moments that speak louder than words. Known for his cinematic imagery, he photographs stars like Daniel Craig, Kate Winslet and Margot Robbie on a regular basis and has been shaping the visual look of Hollywood for years.
This very imagery defines his Leica Artist Look: reminiscent of black-and-white cinema and inspired by classic Tri-X 400 scans, the effect is subtly enhanced with a touch of warmth that brings Williams’ unmistakable style right to your camera.
