Collaboration with Leica Camera - International Exhibitions

My collaboration with Leica Camera was a defining chapter in my development as a fine-art nude photographer—especially because of the close connection to the Leica Galleries, which opened up a whole new world for my work.

The Beginning: An Editorial to Set the Stage

It all began with an editorial in Leica S Magazine. That was where my nude photography was first published in the context of nude art.

For me, that was the moment when my work gained visibility in a setting that stands for the highest standards of photographic quality. At the same time, it marked my entry into the world of the Leica Galleries, which are internationally recognized as a platform for sophisticated photographic art.

Porto: The Launch at the Leica Galleries

My career as an exhibiting artist really began in Porto—at one of the Leica galleries.

This first exhibition set the tone: About 20 large-format nude photographs were presented in a deliberately museum-like atmosphere. A clean layout, plenty of space, and large prints.

The Leica Galleries provided exactly the setting my work needs:

  • Peace

  • Concentration

  • a curated, high-quality environment

This wasn't about decoration, but about artistic presence.

Continuity in the Leica Galleries Across Europe

Following the opening in Porto, a ongoing collaboration developed with the Leica Galleries in various European cities. My work has been exhibited at the following locations, among others:

  • Salzburg

  • Rome

  • Stuttgart

Each of these Leica galleries has its own character—both architecturally and in terms of atmosphere. And yet they are all united by a clear curatorial vision: to take photography seriously as an art form and to give it space.

For me, that meant:

  • to view my work in an international context

  • to reach different audiences

  • and at the same time maintain a consistent level of presentation quality

The Role of the Leica Galleries in My Development

For me, the Leica Galleries were more than just exhibition spaces. They became an important part of my artistic development.

Thanks to my regular presence in the Leica Galleries, I was able to:

  • further refine my visual language

  • Consistently present large-format works

  • and solidify my position as a fine art nude photographer

This continuity has given my work new visibility and, at the same time, a clear place within the field of artistic photography.

Leica as a Way of Life

For me, the collaboration with Leica Camera also reflects an attitude that is closely linked to the Leica Galleries:

  • Focusing on the Essentials

  • Precision in the Details

  • a mindful, unhurried perspective

These values align closely with my own approach—especially when it comes to sensuality and the female gaze.

My career has been closely linked to the Leica Galleries. From my first editorial in Leica S Magazine to exhibitions in Porto, Salzburg, Rome, and Stuttgart, it has been a continuous journey.

The Leica Galleries have not only opened up new spaces for me, but have also provided a platform where my work could flourish—steadily, consistently, and with international visibility.
