I just found out she very recently won one of the 1st prize awards from
World Press Photo:

http://www.worldpressphoto.org/awards/2013/contemporary-issues/maika-elan

Also Elan is not her real name; she took the name after her first real
camera, a Canon.
Maika Leica has a ring to it though, don't you think ?  :-)

Cheers,

- Phong
