In 2025, Leica Camera AG is honouring the 100th anniversary of the Leica I. The programme celebrating the centenary includes worldwide exhibitions and events. In tribute to the region and city of Wetzlar, the birthplace of the Leica, numerous events will be held here over the course of the anniversary year. Among them, three prestigious exhibits at the Leitz Park will highlight the rich diversity of Leica photography.

The successful English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jamie Cullum (born in 1979) has for many years dedicated himself to photography, his second great passion after music. As a Leica Ambassador, he already exhibited his work at the photokina in 2014. Cullum uses his Leica cameras to create a kind of visual diary. Not only does he capture special places during his tours in quiet still lifes and landscape pictures, but he also portrays himself as well as his fellow musicians and chance acquaintances. With his colour and black and white images, he allows private glimpses into his world, while also documenting the many impressions and situations he experiences during his travels with his keen eye. He has long become much more than an

amateur photographer. He uses the medium of photography as a creative tool to connect with the world around him more deeply. The title of the exhibition refers to a song that he released in 2004 on his album Twentysomething.

The exhibition was made possible with the kind support of WhiteWall.

Jamie Cullum was born on 20 August 1979 in Essex, England. He already garnered his first musical experience as a small child. To pay for his literature and film studies, he worked as a musician at many clubs and bars. His first album was released in 1999, his second after he graduated in 2001. He won the Rising Star category at the British Jazz Awards in 2003. Just as his music exhibits a wide range of styles, an exciting crossover is also evident in his photographs. Jamie Cullum lives in London.

Monday to Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM
