Results don’t depend from equipment, now anyone can make great videos using only a simple camera. “All my videos are shot without steadicam, only hands and Leica. Creative process means a lot for me even when I shoot commercial. This project was shot with a small, unpretentious Leica D-Lux 6 camera, without any additional equipment, lenses or light (no changing lenses in this model). From 2013, Pelykh has been filming with Leica.
