Travel Photography with the Leica M8

Leica M8Luminous Landscape editor Michael Reichmann reflects on 6 days spent in Marrakech, Morocco, with the Leica M8 digital camera.

“I try not to shoot a new location with any preconceptions. Some people pour over books, trying to learn as much about a place as possible beforehand. I do the opposite. I rarely look at photographs of a place, and only read enough to get the lay of the land. It is usually afterward, if a place really interests me, that I study up on it. In the case of Morocco, and Marrakech in particular, I found that this allowed me to spend the first few days with very fresh eyes. In fact, the best work I did was during the first half of the trip even though I shot more during the second half. I attribute this to what I call, the saturation effect. “
