Ghost Mountain Air
I photographed these panoramic images on 6x17 and Noblex panoramic cameras. The scanned images were digitally treated and printed on metallic paper for exhibition. They are also available on archival inkjet printing media. Ghost Mountain Air series represents personal visual encounters in rural Kwazulu, South Africa. I photographed the panoramic landscapes with a large format panoramic film camera. The panoramic format suited my experience of the place and space. Strong emphasis was placed on design and the rich textures accentuated by early morning or late afternoon light against a backdrop of stark winter or cloudy summer skies. The descriptive images are of complex found moments, creating controlled equanimity between particular subjects in the environment. The following images are a few examples of the series.
