He will speak about the shooting conditions in a North African city and also present some of his Piezographic prints from the book.

Marrakech Face to Face showcases Louis Jay’s striking monochromatic portraits and intimate scenes captured within the city’s vibrant Medina. Jay first encountered Marrakech in 1974 as a young traveler exploring Morocco. Though he had not yet begun his photographic journey — and carried no camera — the compelling faces and vivid scenes he witnessed left a lasting impression. For years he longed to return. It wasn’t until after he’d retired from a successful career in commercial photography, nearly fifty years after his first visit, that Jay returned to Marrakech, this time with his Leica camera in hand, determined to capture the timeless spirit of the city and its inhabitants.
