On Thursday, December 4th, we were honored to host the San Francisco–based photographer Joshua Amirthasingh as a celebration of the release of his new photobook, Tales from the City, published by Nazraeli Press
This highly anticipated monograph continues Amirthasingh’s exploration of San Francisco through a cinematic and deeply personal lens, capturing the city’s golden light, shifting fog, and the quiet moments that unfold within its urban rhythms.
Blending nostalgia with a love of cinematic storytelling, Tales from the City transforms San Francisco into both setting and character, inviting viewers into dreamlike narratives where atmosphere and memory intertwine. Through images that balance stillness with story, Amirthasingh offers an intimate portrait of a city that is both familiar and unexpected.
Signed copies of Tales from the City are now available at Leica Store San Francisco and on our website. Get yours while they last!
