Panoramic Image Portoflio Andrea Matone

has always led me to places and people breaking the barrier between vertical vs. horizontal picture framing.   I believe the panoramic image format brings photography closer to the eye’s perception  of visual reality giving back to the observer  the possibility of capturing in one glance all the pieces that compose the visual image puzzle.  These very same pieces acquire special interest when merged together as they communicate with one another taking shape in sweeping views of landscapes, cityscapes or portraits.  When I find myself on a stock photo shoot I often search for panoramic stock picture opportunities and if you are careful they may be found anywhere.   The amazing thing about this is if you are able to compose and merge images, glances, fractions of space and time, what ordinarily seems boring or unappealing acquires motion, interest  extending the viewers attention span on the stock picture by fractions or seconds leaving in the viewer a sense of appreciation for having captured in one single moment the location's sense of space and time.
