I have learned so much from these books and this video: composition, layering, sequencing, and - chief among them - the supremacy of emotion above perfection.

Both were fantastic presentations. I have to say that Gus’s book blew me away.

Thanks for joining us and for the feedback!

Hi, i wanted to thank you for inspiring me on ways to photograph my family; I wanted to hang a pretty family photo somewhere in the house but my father doesn't like photos of us exposed, so I'm going to try something more indirect, like personal generic objects, I think it'll work :D

Does anyone know what lens Ashly used to capture these magnificent shots? Sorry if it’s mentioned and I missed it but it’s a long video. Thanks

James , Ashly has worked with a Leica M6 and 28mm and 35mm as well as the Leica Q.

@@LeicaCameraUSA Thanks very much for the info - I thought the images looked on the wider side of things. I love the slightly jaunty/awkward look that 28mm gives that seems to compliment the documentation of childhood and life as a parent so nicely 👍
