One Hundred and Thirty Degrees is an ongoing personal project I’ve been working on for over a decade. As humans our eyes have a particularly wide field of view at 130 degrees, and so we’re used to being able to see everything around us from what’s right in front to everything in our peripheral vision. As an artist I’m fascinated by trying to capture this unique field of view in my work. The name of the project comes from the panoramic technique I use to create the imagery. With the camera locked-off on a tripod, I use a nodal slider to pan the camera from left to right capturing anywhere from 8 to 25 individual still images. I then manually stitch together all the images to create vibrant, engrossing landscapes. When printed in full resolution the photos can be upwards of nine feet wide and four feet tall.
