Beyond the Lens: A Year of Photography with the Leica Q2
In 2024, I made a big leap by buying my first Leica camera, the Q2 model. I’ve been taking it everywhere with me, but I’ve noticed I’m still taking the same old photos. So, I’ve set myself a challenge to use the camera more creatively and become more creative with it. In 2025, I’m going to take at least one creative photo every day. This page is a visual diary and a way to keep myself on track. As the year goes on, I hope that I’ll get a fresh perspective and keep pushing myself to improve and develop my perspective. The images captured each day are not pre planned they are responding to the moment, space and place.
