Please join us Thursday evening from 6pm-8pm for the opening night of David Butow Subjective Realities at the Leica Store D.C.

Exhibition will run through Sept 5th, 2025 if you can't make it to the opening night, please stop by while the show is up to check out the images!

"Photojournalism usually wants to be black in white, in the philosophical if not the tonal sense: Something is happening and the public needs to know about it. The photojournalist steps in and — using the universal language of imagery — makes a descriptive picture that provides easy access to meaning. That’s the idea, at least." - David Butow

David Butow is an award winning, freelance photojournalist whose pictures have appeared in National Geographic, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, on the covers of TIME and Newsweek, and in many books and magazines worldwide.

He began working professionally in the 1980s and has traveled to over two dozen countries to photograph social issues and news events such as the Los Angeles riots in 1992, the Palestinian/Israeli Intifada in 2000, the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Asian tsunami of 2004, and the Hong Kong democracy protests of 2019. His work on U.S. politics beginning in 2016 and culminating at the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol resulted in the monograph "BRINK", published by Punctum Press of Rome.

Following the opening we be hosting David Butow and Leica Akademie for a three-day workshop, June 20-22nd for photographers eager to master the art of kinetic composition and narrative in their photographs. This class is designed for intermediate to advanced shooters.
