Carlo Velasquez

Hello, My name is Carlo Velasquez and I am the Content Manager at Leica Store San Francisco. I have a strong background in street photography, use of natural light, and in-depth applied knowledge in all aspects of film production. I work primarily with 35mm film and the Leica M-A is my everyday carry camera. However, I am very well versed in the Leica digital systems as well as regularly make use of the current Leica M cameras as well as the Leica SL2-S for video production.
