Lluis Ripoll

I started photographing at age 13. At 15 I was making films as an amateur, my pictures and movies won several awards. Professionally I did not follow these paths, but photography has always been part of my main hobbies. The great quality that most distinguishes photography and which I enjoy is capturing the moment. I have used many cameras in my life, from the first Kodak "Baby" folder camera - my mother's camera - to others, Contax IIIA, Voigtländer, Braun, Retina, Rolleiflex, Pentax, Leica R ... In 1988 I started using a Leica M3 and since then I have followed mainly Leica M. Today I keep shooting film as well as digital. Actually I have my personal website: http://www.lluisripollphotography.com;
