About Face explores the profound nature of the human gaze—an ordinary moment made extraordinary through the lens of Leica photographers. Each portrait, like a fleeting breath, holds stillness and intensity, bearing witness to the lives lived in the span of a single frame. Here, faces tell stories beyond words, where the personal becomes universal, and the subject invites us to pause, reflect, and see them in their essence.

In this collection, time stretches, emotions deepen, and cultural landscapes emerge. The photographers transform everyday encounters into moments of truth, where vulnerability and strength coexist, and the camera becomes a tool for understanding, empathy, and revelation.

About Face is an invitation to reflect on the intimacy of portraiture and the quiet power it holds in connecting us to one another, beyond the surface.
