THE PROJECT
Seven exceptional artisans, dedicated to the vanishing art of handcrafting and with a passion for photography, received a new Leica T Camera System, to experiment with and document the creative work in their workshops. In the next step they transferred the digital pictures into real life pieces using their craft and created a unique fusion of digital and analog techniques. This project focusses on the value of traditional handcrafts and the missing link between analog and digital in collaboration with Leica, a brand known for carefully manufacturing hand-made camera systems on the highest quality level
