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.
Leica Galerie Singapore
Located at the iconic Raffles Hotel, the Leica Galerie is the start of a beautiful photographic journey for many. The goal is to share the joy and love for photography through Leica exhibitions in Singapore, to audiences who have yet to experience the emotions of such work firsthand. The Leica Galerie will showcase over 6 photography exhibitions each year from local and international talents. The first exhibition was launched with 23 original black and white prints from the Leica Collection and included works from legendary photographers such as Thomas Hoepker, Henri Cartier-Bresson, René Burri, Sebastiao Salgado, Constantine Manos, Klavdij Sluban and Jane Evelyn Atwood.

DRIVING PLACES
29 Aug 2024 - 1 Oct 2024 | Calvin Courjon
Driving places showcases Calvin’s true passion: Cars, particularly classic vehicles. His work is a testament to this love, as he masterfully blends rare and prestigious automobiles with iconic landscapes, creating images that highlight the deep connection between a car and its surroundings.
Calvin’s photography challenges the conventional notion that sports cars belong solely in urban environments; instead, he portrays them as vessels of adventure, capable of escaping the confines of the city and finding freedom on the most awe-inspiring roads nature has to offer.
About the photographer
Calvin COURJON, 24, is a French photographer specialized in automotive and travel images. Calvin started his photographic journey when he was only ten years old. Fourteen years later, he’s never in one place for long. From shooting some of the most prestigious cars in Paris, Bangkok, or elsewhere, to exploring remote locations such as Patagonia, Calvin always travel to discover and feel new regions of the world to fuel his need of creating the best images. He also produces all the images of world’s best pastry chef, Cedric Grolet, as well as for various luxury brands.
But his true love still lies in cars, especially classics, and travels. His work reflects that. Trying to bring some of the rarest vehicles in iconic locations to emphasize the bond between a car and its background, demonstrating that sport cars are not only nested in big cities but are also a way of escaping in the nature, looking for the most incredible roads. His hunt for the best pictures has gathered more than 115 000 people on Instagram (@ccourjon) where he publishes his work and behind the scenes.
Photo Exhibition at Leica Store Marina Bay Sands
Located within the Leica Store at Marina Bay Sands, the photo exhibition showcases works of budding local talents and Leica customers.
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.
Make An AppointmentMOUNT BROMO
30 Aug - 7 Nov 2024 | Leica Akadamie
Located some 4 hours drive from Surabaya, the capital of East Java, Mount Bromo is a part of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The awe-inspiring landscape of Mount Bromo lived up to its reputation during a recent photography expedition organised by Leica Akademie. The photos on display in this exhibition captured the authentic spirit of life in Indonesia's volcanic heartland. Each photograph tells a powerful story, revealing the raw beauty of the native people and their daily lives amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Mount Bromo. From the rugged streets to intimate moments shared by the locals, these images provide a glimpse into a world where tradition blends harmoniously with nature’s grandeur.

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.
