As Official Photography Partner of Photokina 2016, Leica will be staging the “Masters of Photography” exhibition at the trade fair from September 20 to 25. “Wild Wild West” by Ellen von Unwerth is part of the presentation.

She is one of the most influential photographers of today, and, as a renowned protagonist in the male-dominated world of fashion photography – at least behind the camera –, she is an exception. Equipped with a Leica S007, Ellen von Unwerth put together a unique series for the S Magazine 8: without the limitations of a commercial assignment, but full of typical moments bursting with life. In a loosely associative series, we accompany a girl gang in search of happiness in the Wild West. Learn more about von Unwerth’s latest project in LFI 7/2016 and the new S Magazine, available as of 20 September.
