Photopraphy by Hajo Pirenz
Inspired by the ever-changing landscapes of the southwest of Ireland, Hajo’s photography explores mood, structure, and atmosphere. His work focuses primarily on black-and-white landscape photography, where reduction and restraint allow images to speak with clarity and depth.
Colour appears selectively, only where it supports the narrative of a place. Across all works, the emphasis lies on focus, concentration, and a deliberate way of seeing — allowing quiet moments and subtle contrasts to unfold.
Hajo Pirenz on the Leica Enthusiast Podcast
Hajo joins the Leica Enthusiast Podcast to speak about his contemplative approach to landscape photography along the Irish coast. In this episode, he reflects on working with the Leica M11 Monochrom, Leica Q2 Monochrom and Leica S3, and shares insights into process and practice—from the use of tripods and filters to the role of weather, composition, and patience.
It’s a conversation shaped by stillness, black and white imagery, and a deep sensitivity to place – exploring why meaningful photography so often begins with time, discipline, and deliberate choices.
Leica Enthusiast Podcast
The Podcast is a German-language series dedicated to photography shaped by the unmistakable Leica spirit.
Presented by Michel Birnbacher, the podcast offers in-depth conversations with a diverse range of visual artists and creative minds, each sharing how they found their way into photography and what continues to shape their work. Rather than centring purely on equipment, these dialogues open up a broader perspective – touching on creative thinking, personal stories, and the unique sensibility that surrounds the Leica universe.

Finding a piece that feels right
Art unfolds through dialogue, not in a shopping cart. Our works are not mass-produced. That is why we guide you personally through the selection.
Together, we help you find the right photography, format and finish for your wall. By placing selected works into images of your own interior, you can see how each piece interacts with the space – its presence, balance and mood – rather than viewing it against a generic backdrop.
