LEICA GALERIE
Leica Camera shares a passion for and a love of creative photography of the highest standards with many people around the world – that’s why making such works and their creators accessible to people with this passion has always been important to Leica. For decades now, and for this precise reason, Leica has offered both prominent Leica photographers and emerging new talents an opportunity to present their work to a wider audience. The Leica galleries were conceived as the ideal forum for this purpose.
The tradition of the Leica Galleries goes back to the 1970s. The first Leica Gallery was founded in Wetzlar in 1976 and currently resides in the headquarters of Leica Camera AG. Further galleries were to follow, and today, Leica Galleries are found in many parts of the world, including Singapore.

A MASTER OF STREET PHOTOGRPAHY
11 Nov 2024 - 16 Feb 2025 | Joel Meyerowitz
This exhibition is a tribute to Joel Meyerowitz’s extraordinary body of work, his unwavering commitment to the art of photography, and his lasting legacy in the world of street photography. It also marks the celebration of 70 years of the Leica M system, a groundbreaking tool that has been instrumental in bringing Meyerowitz’s visionary work to life. Many of his iconic photographs, now considered milestones in modern photography, owe their timeless impact to the precision and artistry of the Leica M.

SINGING IN THE DARK
7 Nov 2022 - 16 Apr 2023 | KC Eng and members of Red Photos
It is more than just about the opera, the performers and the props involved. It is the incorporeal embodiment of tradition that we must treasure today, fading as it will with time’s arrow. It is also an emblem of the altruistic spirit of dedicating oneself wholeheartedly to something without expecting much materially in return. This photo exhibition holds and passes on that shimmering trove to the audience, in hope that the persistence of its memory may yet still gleam farther down in the sands of time, before its final vanishment under a shroud of oblivion.

About KC Eng
Many years ago – after my national service - I decided to see the world through the camera lens. This bridge between science and art, brings both worlds to a common denominator in my search fora unified vision in time, space and structure. For now, I write stories in visual language where prose and poetry require no transcription. My trusty Leica facilitates the 'taking', whilst I do the 'giving', to transform and transcend ordinary reality, bringing subjective order into objective chaos. In a domain undictated by formula, I turn to myself with my conscience speaking, writing and singing in the language of light and time.
