The Leica Camera Blog
This interview is part of a series in which Olaf Willoughby talks with Leica Meet members about their photographic projects, their stories, goals and learnings along the way. This month’s interview tells the story of Paul Borg Olivier. From Mayor of Valletta to telling the story of his city, from a IIIc to an M9-P all in one year — it makes for fascinating reading. Q: To start can you give me an overview of your project? What is its title and main theme? A: I was born and bred in Valletta, Malta’s Capital, a world heritage site declared by UNESCO and the European Cultural Capital for 2018. I served the city as its Mayor for ten years, a time that engaged me into the plaited link between the city, its people and its port.

Born in Wuxi China in 1985, Haoming Wang moved with has family to Singapore where he lived for five years before emigrating to his present home in Sydney, Australia. He became interested in photography starting in 2007 and acquired his first Leica shortly thereafter, which sparked his interest in photography as creative expression. Inspired by the work of legendary photojournalists and street photographers, he documents the small ironies and ordinary events of everyday life with honesty, compassion, humor and wit. Q: What camera equipment do you generally use? A: I use a Leica M and M9 with 50 mm f/0.95 Noctilux-M ASPH., a 24 mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH. a 90 mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M. About 95% of the time I shoot with the 50 mm f/0.95 Noctilux. I also use Leica film cameras (M3, M5, M6, M7). Q: What are some of the characteristics of the 50 mm f/0.95 Noctilux-M that make it your favorite and that you find especially useful in your kind of work? A: It’s a very good […]
