Michael Turek
About Your Host
Michael Turek is an American fine art film photographer who works on documentary assignments for clients including The Financial Times, The Guardian, Architectural Digest and The Paris Review. Turek is a long-time Leica film camera shooter (M3 and M-A) and has developed a blended exposure technique that is specific to Leica film cameras.
Turek has made repeat visits to Bhutan, and is particularly interested in the cultural fabric of the Himalayas, and how successful film photography can capture the grain of the sounds, scents and saturated tones. In this retreat, Turek will be joined by Leica specialist Peter Dooling, who heads up the camera brand’s Photo Workshops Program worldwide.
