Painting with the Leica M8

February, 2025

Painting is not the verb most people would use to describe using a camera. Shooting is the right word to be using. And yet, here I am, paiting…

I say that becuase in the right conditions - it really feels like you can make paintings with this camera. Paintings with beutiful pastel colors and just the right balance of shapness and softness. All with minimal editing.

That’s not to say all photos from the M8 turn out great…this camera really paints in colorful environments on bright sunny days. In anything else, I’d say it shoots okay, not bad or anything, but not painting.

some paintings from this month:
