Suggestions for Leica Film Photographers to Follow?

[das]

Although I certainly enjoy some of the "fine art" produced by the Leica-sponsored pros who use the Leica Monochrome / M10 system, I am looking for suggestions for interesting/talented contemporary Leica photographers who primarily use film to check out/follow (Instagram, websites, etc.). Please post your suggestions! Thank you!

You are only interested in photography by people who use a Leica? Or just curious who uses a Leica film camera now?

I am interested in discovering and checking out talented folks who use the Leica M system (and/or Leica copies, whatever) but choose to shoot and display film photographs. I know that some folks these days do a mix of both.

I'm into it less now. But using film Leica and looking for, at Leica photogs.

I recommend Leica blog. They do have entries with film M photogs.

Don't overlook the numerous excellent photographers who use cameras from other companies.

Ko.Fe., thanks I especially liked the last one (all in Russian?).

 

[Ko.Fe.]

Yes, Moscow based photog. He was posting at RFF Gallery under another name.

+1, the brand of camera has nothing to do with it, the talent behind it is all that matters.

Honestly, it's easy to find people on instagram. Just check hashtags of certain cameras (or film stocks).

Totally agree. Not trying to be snobbish, just trying to stick to the Leica platform for this one.

Thanks for sending suggestions! I will check them out. Instagram tags are helpful but also wanted to know whom you guys found particularly talented and interesting.

Here is no "interesting/talented" hashes.
OP is not about digging the dross you are suggesting.

Ed Templeton and his wife Deanna they both use a Leica M6.
I believe each has his/her camera

Great set of photographers and totally unknown to me. Thank you Ko.Fe.

Great B&W work I didn't know! Interesting website! Thanks for suggestion.

Some people take joy in perusing through stacks of library books, thrift store clothing, or bad instagram photos to find the good ones. Anyway, it's subjective.

Go to Flickr.com and do a search for "Leica M film" .... You'll get a lot of possibly interesting photographers to follow.

I'll recommend a few resident forum members that I follow on Flickr.

Swift1 - Colton recently got a M2, but the camera is just a light tight box for him. His work is consistently excellent, no matter what camera he uses.

But it's all very vague; there's so many fields of photography that the best techniques in one field are the worst in another. I can think of some types of photography that are all about glamour and not about realism and vice versa.

A glamorous series of pictures showing how to repair a camera would be very wrong as you want blatant realism, etc.

And talented usually means what someone likes most; especially celebrities...
