In the new area "Leica Photographers" we will be showing an ever growing number of photographers who hold on to the 21st century with their strong, innovative and fascinating pictures. In addition to the above mentioned photographers, the young German photographers Boris Potschka and Oliver Brachat can be found in this area. Boris Potschka, with his brilliant colors, fascinates in especially the Indian subcontinent, which he was able to capture during seven photographic journeys. The pictures can be seen in the Leica Gallery Solms, November 2001, and can now be seen on the web: http://www.leica-camera.com/kultur/galerie/fotografen/potschka/index.html Oliver Brachat has mastered an unusual way of photographing ordinary foods. His pictures are examples of the top optical performances that the lenses of the Leica R-System have to offer.
