The S Magazine is a unique platform allowing photographers to give free rein to their visions of fashion and fine-art photography. Exempt from any creative boundaries and constraints, the resulting pictures and videos are powerful, extravagant and full of surprising new perspectives.
World-class photographers have already demonstrated their expertise in working with a Leica for the printed edition of the S Magazine, or for a Digital Feature on the medium’s internet page. With this ninth issue, the S Magazine is introducing another format: a showcase of professional and modern Leica photography. For the first time, the S Magazine is presenting a Lookbook where twenty high-end portfolios reveal the platform’s great diversity. Renowned photographers and up-and-coming new talent unleash their full potential in this style-defining magazine – free of any restraints and without specific requirements. All the work and complementary films were produced with the professional Leica S and SL systems.
Photographers in this issue are Enrique Badulescu, Joachim Baldauf, Aglaja Brix & Florian Maas, Bil Brown, Arved Colvin-Smith, Anna Daki, Rui Faria, Christian Geisselmann, Esther Haase, Marie Hochhaus, Benjamin Kaufmann, James Meakin, Monica Menez, Hector Perez, Elizaveta Porodina, Rene & Radka, Christian Rinke, Tristan Rösler, Takahito Sasaki and Special Guest Ellen von Unwerth.
