Raised in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Leonard Tal Tuschl developed an early interest in the streets and especially the people that walk them. Influenced by street skating, he began to see photography as a creative outlet and a way to express himself.

He shoots almost entirely on black and white film, splitting his time between New York and Berlin. What he keeps coming back to is community: shared spaces and the small moments that happen in between. A lot of his work is about the disappearance of the "third place" we've quietly lost, the spots that used to exist between work and home, where people just were, without needing a reason to be there. His photos live in that in between space, the corner store, the subway, the walk home.

Leonard is currently studying at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie, where he is developing a more rigorous practice rooted in long-term, project-based work. His approach seeks to build meaningful narratives rather than isolated images, examining how collective spaces reflect and shape personal stories.
