Host Toby Jermyn welcomes London-based Leica ambassador Alan Schaller, known for high-contrast black-and-white street photography featured at the Saatchi Gallery and in major publications.
Competition Closed - Win a copy of Alan's new book Street Safari by answering one simple question, and if you get it correct, you will be entered into a lucky draw. https://link.pangolinphoto.com/Street-Safari
Alan discusses selecting images for the show and his upcoming book Street Safari, explaining how photographing animals in cities helped him connect with people and build confidence. He describes a cover image of “yin and yang” swans shot in St James’s Park on the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, his use of a Leica Monochrom and pre-visualisation, and a desert scene in Dubai created on assignment.
Alan shares how he transitioned from a music career into photography, co-founded Street Photography International, and developed a relationship with Leica. He talks about photographing Japanese band ONE OK ROCK, launching the photo-only platform Iris and Iris Publishing, choosing a dog portrait on Millennium Bridge, and admiring Pentti Sammallahti’s work.
