Leica Q2 Monochrom /  by Aanarav Sareen

As an photographer and technologist, I’m constantly chasing the next piece of gear. Not that it makes my work any better, but it allows me to see the latest innovation in imaging technology.

When I initially heard about Leica making black and white cameras, I was utterly confused - why would someone pay a premium to take B&W photos in 2023? Little by little, I started reading reviews and the images from these cameras were absolutely beautiful.

So, despite my better judgement - I decided to order a Leica Q2M and took it on its first ever trip in February. When I got home and started processing these images - I was in awe. The photos aren’t technically superior, but the emotion that these images deliver are truly incredible.

Now, I very much look forward to capturing and creating more memories with this camera.

360 Degree Cameras on Vacation /  by Aanarav Sareen

I've been a camera geek for as long as I can remember. I love how each camera is able to play on its strengths to create beautiful images and videos.

In the last few years, there has been an increase in advanced camera technology – iPhone's portrait mode all the way up to 360 degree cameras.

Last year, I purchased a GoPro Fusion camera to experiment with and so far, it has accompanies me on every major trip.

For our end of the year vacation in Thailand, I left it running in a few different places, edited the videos when I got home and simply published it on YouTube. The result is embedded below:

For the first time ever, a technology is able to truly capture the surroundings without disruption.

As I continue to research this technology, I'll definitely be posting a lot more videos on my YouTube channel.
