The Photography Book Salon at Leica Store and Gallery Los Angeles
About this Event
Join Leica Store and Gallery Los Angeles as we celebrate World Photography Day with a special Photography Book Salon—an evening dedicated to the books, images, and stories that have shaped our understanding of photography.
This community gathering invites photographers, collectors, artists, and photography enthusiasts to bring a photography book that has inspired them. Together, we'll explore how photography preserves memory, history, emotion, culture, and perspective in ways that no other medium can.
Guided by the Gallery Director, Paris Chong, the evening will feature an open, salon-style discussion where participants are encouraged to share the photography books that have influenced their creative journey while reflecting on a central question:
What does photography preserve that nothing else can?
Participants are encouraged to share:
- A photography book that has inspired or influenced them.
- Their perspective on what photography preserves and why it matters.
The discussion is designed to celebrate the power of photography and the books that preserve its legacy.
Whether you're an experienced photographer, an avid collector, or simply someone who appreciates the art of visual storytelling, this is an opportunity to connect with fellow members of the Leica community and celebrate the enduring impact of photography through the printed page.
We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of conversation, inspiration, and community as we celebrate World Photography Day together.
To keep the conversation inclusive and community-focused, the salon will not include portfolio reviews or self-promotion.
As a special thank you for celebrating World Photography Day with us, attendees will receive an exclusive event-only offer on Leica Books, available only during the event on August 19. This one-day offer may be redeemed in-store throughout the evening.
