A wedding on a Leica M.
A small camera, and one frame at a time.
A small camera
The Leica M is a rangefinder. It is small, it makes almost no sound and it does not look like what people expect a wedding photographer to carry. In a room with six people it passes for a guest’s camera.
No autofocus
It has no autofocus. It focuses the way a hand does: slowly, by touch, by instinct. There is no zoom either. To get closer you take a step.
One frame at a time
No burst. We do not shoot twenty frames to choose one. We wait, and make one. Each photograph is a decision.
What it changes for you
A discreet camera changes how people behave. Nobody poses for something they hardly notice. The day keeps its own pace and we keep it too.
Light first
Darío studied lighting before photography. Light still decides where he stands.
Digital and film
We work on Leica M in digital and on film. The same way of looking, two supports. More on that in our note on film.
