In August, Lux Photo Lab had the honor of sponsoring our ambassador Rodrigo Rangel de Alba’s very first exhibition and talk at The Ivy Hotel in Chicago. Rodrigo, who in May completed his extraordinary journey of visiting all 197 countries in the world, presented not only a milestone in travel but a deeply human body of work now gathered under his new brand, RRA 197.

The second weekend of July 2025, Chicago’s streets came alive with the energy of Leicapalooza, a weekend where Leica enthusiasts, seasoned pros, and first-time shooters came together for challenges, talks, and unforgettable moments.
