Leica Fotografie International

In this issue, Severin Jakob takes you on a documentary journey into Swiss space research. Also: impressions by the visual artist Alessia Rollo of the rites and customs of Southern Italy; Roland Schmid accompanied Eastern European societies for 40 years; Gregorio Díaz shows the graphic elements of the streets of Bogotá and Mexico City; and Stephen Shames, who makes injustice, poverty, and racism visible in his photographic work.

In the technical section of this issue, you can learn more about the new Leica Q3 Monochrom and new colour variants of popular M lenses, and see how Whitewall produces the prints for the Vienna exhibition by Barbara Klemm and Lena Mucha.

Pietro in the photo is a member of a group on Ischia that practices traditional rituals. I got in touch with them through a friend who knew the group’s president.
