Leica Stories: In Conversation with Mark DePaola & Phil Penman | Hosted by Leica

We tend to get to know most photographers through the images they create, the stories they tell. We don’t always have the ability to dive inside their minds to experience the way they truly see the world. Join us as we sit down with both Mark DePaola and Phil Penman to peel back their creative processes and look at what makes them both so uniquely dynamic in the way they capture images.

Speakers

Mark de Paola
Mark de Paola was literally born into a photo studio on Cahuenga Blvd in Los Angeles and grew up splitting time between Los Angeles and New York. Mark’s earliest recollections are of watching photoshoots and being completely immersed in the fashion books and periodicals of the time, Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. Mark’s photographic foundation is the works of his father Alessio, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Bert Stern, and Art Kane.

Mark’s vision is best described as a combination of reportage, fashion, and beauty. It has always been Mark’s objective to capture a natural beauty in a setting where a model’s personality is allowed to flourish while a story is being told.

Mark continues to give master classes worldwide, including a discussion “The Truth” with Alessia Glaviano, Senior Photo Editor at Vogue Italia, “Stanley Kubrick: The Exhibition” at the Contemporary Jewish Museum San Francisco, „Leica M Panel“ with Ralph Gibson and Leica Camera at Photoville New York City, and de Paola’s Masterclass “Photography Wide Open” at the Leica Store San Francisco, the Leica Gallery Los Angeles, the Leica Store Boston, the Leica Store Tokyo, and the New York Film Academy. Most recently, de Paola gave a private master workshop at the Great Wall of China and a three day intensive in the ancient Chinese town of Dali.
