Panoramic Photographers and his works

[Pecorty]

I' would like to open a thread to share photographers who use the panoramic format in his works. It's interesting to learn to compose and have new ideas.

I start with two real masters of photography:

Pentti Sammallahti and his book here far away

and Mikio Hasui who has a marvelous book called Peace-Land

Happily add Josef Koudelka's "Chaos" to the mix. I believe (but don't know) that it was shot mostly using the 4x10 format. The Hasui work that you brought to my attention is beautiful. I guess he has been flying under my radar up until now. That is certainly not the case for the general community of photo lovers and Koudelka who is already renowned.

I can recommend Ivan Lutterer from Czech Republic: http://www.langhansgalerie.cz/cz/vystavy-detail.php?vid=65
Have a look at his book "Panoramatické fotografie".

In case it matters, Koudelka's "Chaos" was mostly shot on a Fuji 6x17. Some of the granier pictures were most likely shot on a "Pannaroma" camera built by Thomas Roma (shooting 24x72mm frames in 35mm film). Check Koudelka's Facebook profile image and you can see him with a Fuji in his hands and the Pannaroma around his neck (the camera just above his Olympus).
