A new stunning Leica “100” advertisement, relating to the Leica 100 year centennial and opening of the Leica Gallery in São Paulo, Brazil. It recreates 35 historic photos – even when Leica wasn’t there – and it’s extremely well done – a must-see at any rate! Their statement:
“100 years ago something changed dramatically the course of photography. The first leica was born. Of course you could say, “Hey some of these photos weren’t taken with a Leica at all!” But I must gently disagree with you. Leica took the camera out of the studio and placed it into real life. Images à la sauvette. Snapshots. We were able to see, to feel, to smell thousands of moments. It became an extension of the eye of the photographer. Joy, pain, ordinary things, fear, losers, winners, misery. War from inside. One image contaminating the others. Metastasis. The most iconic images in history, even the ones that weren’t taken with a Leica, were taken “because” of a Leica. We didn’t invent photography. But we invented… photography.”
