The friendly people at Billingham sent me their Billingham SL2 bag. It’s a bag that is designed for the SL2 – and SL – specifically and it is only available at official Leica stores. Until now, I always brought my SL in either a Billingham 225, a Hadley small, or a huge Think Tank trolley. […]

Featured #12: Jeff Ascough
This featured article is special to me, because today we have Jeff Ascough from the UK. When I started in wedding photography, roughly twenty years ago, there wasn’t such a thing as documentary wedding photography, at least not here in The Netherlands. I knew how I wanted to capture a wedding, but there wasn’t a […]
Featured #11: Anastasia Potekhina
I came across the dreamy self portraits of Anastasia Potekhina in the LFI gallery and dropped her a message if she’d be interested to be featured here. She was. Here you go. Have you got an interesting story to share? Send me a message and I’ll get back to you. 1) Can you tell a […]
Work in progress
Filming in cold conditions is a challenge. While the Leica SL is a great videographers tool, there’s a huge benefit to working with a dedicated videocamera like the Sony FS5. Why? Because there are physical buttons for all thing that you need. Don’t even get me started on changing lenses in the cold and wind, […]
Q&A: how did you do it?
I received this very kind email last week: Hello Joeri, I’ve been shooting for years and years my leica m6, exclusively bw film. For all my color work, i’m now adding the m240 to my gear and while reading articles about how my fellow photographers are using the M System specifically for portraiture work, I stumbled upon your work […]
The Leica Summaron-M 35/2.8 short review
I had the pleasure of test driving another classic lens from my friend Maarten from The Analog Camera Store. This time it’s a Leica Summaron-M 35/2.8, produced in ’61, when The Beatles weren’t known yet all around the world and years before the first man set foot on the moon. While the summicrons are all […]
The Leica Elmarit-R 180/2.8 short review
My friend Maarten from The Analog Camera Store sent me two lenses to review, one of them being the pretty heavy Leica Elmarit-R 180/2.8 tele lens. My longest lens for my Leica system (both M, SL and CL) is a 90mm, which I only use for seminars and other events where I need to keep […]
Q&A: Flash system for Leica?
Last week I received this email: Dear Joeri, I’m a leica M photographer in Australia. Thank you for your wonderful work on the M system, especially your book on training. Wonderful material and a great help to those wanting to improve their technique and speed. Could I ask your opinion please: I currently shoot documentary […]
Featured #11: Benedikt Ernst
I reached out to Benedikt after having seen some images of him on the LFI website. Benedikt liked the idea of being featured here, so here we go. 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer) “I am fascinated by photography since my teenager years. I think the pictures of Peter […]
Featured #10: Edwin Bouldin
I met Edwin recently on Facebook and we had a short chat. I asked him to send his story and pictures to me and it turned out to be quite an interesting story. Not something you’d read everyday. I also included some of his shots from his recent expo, which were shot on a 6×7 […]
