My love of panoramic film photography was spurred by my friend David Imel, who introduced me to the Hasselblad XPan and its Japanese-only relative, the Fujifilm TX-1. I adore the 6×17 format, as it shows a grander scene without any of the distortion seen in digital panoramic photography. It is instead a full, wide view of a space that to this day remains unique.

I eventually expanded my camera portfolio to include medium format panoramic cameras which use large format lenses to project onto a truly massive strip of 120 film. Each roll only provides four photos, meaning the photographer must be even more selective about a scene so as not to waste precious frames. But that extra work and diligence pays off with spectacular images that have incredible resolution that is unmatched by any digital photo. When printed, these massive images provide a stunning level of detail that quite simply takes your breath away.

Panoramic film photography is my absolute, uncontested favorite way to showcase a scene. I see the world in panoramic, and hope I can share that vision with you.
