Photographed with the Leica T by Shinichi Izaki
The "10 Professionals" photo exhibition focuses on ten "professionals" in Portland, USA, each with unique talents and dedication. Photographer Shinichi Izaki, a user of Leica cameras, used the Leica T to capture professionals such as a printer, florist, tanner, and chef, all wearing Birkenstock footwear.
Everyday Scenes Captured with the Leica T
The Leica T, which captures scenes where Birkenstock blends into the daily lives of professionals, is drawing attention as Leica's first interchangeable-lens camera with an APS-C format sensor, featuring a unibody milled from a solid aluminum block. It has garnered strong support not only from Leica fans but also from professionals.
It is equipped with features to ensure you never miss a moment, such as the "MyCamera menu" that allows easy registration and customization of frequently used menu items. The intuitive and pleasant operation via the rear monitor's touch interface enhances the shooting experience.
Furthermore, the lineup of accessories, reflecting the concept of the Leica T camera system, is also extensive. Items developed in collaboration with Audi's design team, combining practicality and fashion, are not to be missed.
We want to feel the universality of Birkenstock and Leica, both born in Germany, and the brand's commitment to craftsmanship, through the portraits of professionals in Portland, a city where diverse cultures intersect.
