Hajo Pirenz on the Leica Enthusiast Podcast

Hajo joins the Leica Enthusiast Podcast to speak about his contemplative approach to landscape photography along the Irish coast.
In this episode, he reflects on working with the Leica M11 Monochrom, Leica Q2 Monochrom and Leica S3, and shares insights into process and practice – from the use of tripods and filters to the role of weather, composition, and patience.
It’s a conversation shaped by stillness, black and white imagery, and a deep sensitivity to place – exploring why meaningful photography so often begins with time, discipline, and deliberate choices.

Tune in to the latest episode featuring Hajo and immerse yourself in an inspiring conversation.
