SHOWCASES WORK OF INTERNATIONAL MAGNUM PHOTOGRAPHERS
Solms, Germany (November 30, 2011)
- Leica Camera AG, in conjunction with Magnum Photos, presents the
Leica M-System wall calendar for 2012. Titled ‘Past. Present. Future.,’
the calendar shares its name with the motto of the partnership between
Magnum and Leica and contains six monochrome and six color images shot
with Leica’s flagship M cameras by a selection of well-known Magnum
photographers.
Each
calendar image is accompanied by a few words from the photographer
along with information about the camera used. The photographers selected
include: Alex Majoli, Richard Kalvar, Bruno Barbey, Martine Franck,
Paul Fusco, Alex Webb, Constantine Manos, Rene Burri, Mark Power and
Elliott Erwitt. Each photographer is represented by at least one image
and several contributed two. The result is a high-quality wall calendar
with widely differing images that provide impressive insights into the
world of photojournalism captured with the Leica rangefinder system.
