Join the Leica community and the photographer at the opening of his exhibition on February 27 and discover his vision of photography. 

 Since 2013, photographer Emin Özmen has regularly explored France, a country that has become an essential escape during periods of political turbulence in his native Turkey. Attracted by the infinite beauty of the French landscape, he finds inner peace by criss-crossing the beaches, particularly those of Normandy, where he spends long hours observing the tides. These moments of contemplation, combined with his personal and family history, have transformed his connection with France into an inexhaustible source of photographic inspiration. 

Without really being able to explain it, water has always held a special place in Emin Özmen’s life. Looking at his work over the long term, he realizes that the common thread is often water and the relationship living beings have with it. ‘There’s something magical about water and the effect it has on us: it soothes, it purifies, it transports us - literally and figuratively - and it invites us to contemplate, to play, to share. Water is also mysterious, often blending the intimate and public spheres. In France, the discovery of tides opened up new horizons: these immense empty beaches, revealed by the movement of water, became a field of exploration and a passion. ’
