In West Hollywood….Leica Gallery Los Angeles hosts an art talk today with Michael Rymer, (Dennys Ilic).

With a background in cinematography (having lensed the international multi-award-winning “Face to Face” for director Michael Rymer), Dennys Ilic has for the past 13 years also pursued his passion as a professional photographer. Serving a staggering array of clients from major motion pictures, television, magazines and musicians, Dennys is now permanently based in Los Angeles where he has become best known for edgy and soulful images that capture the true essence of his subjects. His photography has been commissioned by a number of major film studios and musicians, including Warner Bros. Pictures, Roadshow, United Pictures International (UPI), Newline Cinema, Strange Music / Tech N9ne and Flo-Rida. His beautiful and haunting images of iconic sci-fi actresses Amanda Tapping, Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff have sold for, and raised tens of thousands of dollars for charity. Dennys is also known for having photographed actor Daniel Radcliffe on many occasions from the age of 15 for the covers and editorial stories in hundreds of international publications associated with the release of the Harry Potter films.

Now based in Los Angeles Dennys continues to follow his passion for photography and his love of Leica cameras combining the two with portraiture of actors, actresses and musicians and a number of related books to be released in 2016.
