SHUEIDO CAMERA
When we think masters of Leica repaint we think SHUEIDO CAMERA. The team have done some absolute master pieces over the years, which have really changed the way we view our luxury Leicas.
Shueido Camera, founded by Marc, traces its roots back to his high school days when he discovered a passion for photography. In 2003, he turned that passion into a business, initially focusing on selling used camera equipment. Headquartered in Taiwan with a studio in Japan, Shueido Camera has carved a niche for itself in the industry by specializing in high-quality refurbishing and visually distinct custom painting.
What sets Shueido Camera apart is its unparalleled camera customization services. It's not just about the variety of paint styles they offer; it's also the unique methods they use to finish the camera bodies. From Hammertone to Brassing and Accenting, they offer a range of finishes that add character and personality to each camera.
Jessie, a representative from Shueido Camera, explains, "In the beginning, we drew inspiration from classical repaints like black or military olive. However, Marc is someone who loves to push boundaries and experiment with new ideas. He envisioned reviving old cameras with a fresh look, and once he mastered the repainting technique, he began designing unique aesthetics."
Shueido Camera's dedication to innovation and creativity has made it a leader in the field of camera customization. With their commitment to quality and a penchant for pushing the boundaries of design, they continue to delight photographers with their one-of-a-kind creations.
