MrLeica – Story & Bio

Leica Blog – Founder / Story

I’m a self taught photographer with 10+ years experience of photographing portraits, models and weddings.  After year 3 I was teaching photography in the UK and overseas and writing technical articles for photography magazines. By year 4 I bought my first Leica camera.  As a child my Grandfather inspired me to draw and taught me to paint with watercolours.  As a teenager I taught myself very fine detail acrylic painting but went on to study science (and later finance) rather than the arts.

Photography came to me in my 20s when a girlfriend kindly bought me a camera for Christmas.  I was immediately hooked and 3 months later a bought a better camera and then another.  My inquisitive data driven mindset and tendency to document things inspired me to start this blog as a personal project.  When reading about photography and researching new cameras I find it the perfect place to record everything I learn to share with others.

MrLeica.com was founded in 2013 and I finally stopped avoiding YouTube later in 2019 and started posts 2 videos most weeks from 2020. I hope you find the content as enjoyable to read as it is to document and follow me above to see future articles.

Then in 2022 this happened!
