Aaron Hobson

Over the past year I've come to really appreciate the work of Aaron Hobson. His work combines "close-quartered panoramas" with self-portraiture and "open narratives". Or, put another way, stories that mix David Lynch in wide screen shot with a humble camera.

Maybe you should just take a look at his work...

Recently, Aaron posted this wonderful night panorama on his blog.

Who thinks of me and my work when they want a happy reminder of their wedding night? Bizarre people, that's who. Hahaha! --Aaron Hobson

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll notice that I've become fascinated by night panoramas. Over the next few weeks and months, I plan to post links to a lot more photographers who've been mixing this two niches.

    Those are interesting "self-portraits" by Andy Frazer. I followed the link and was impressed by his photography.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Ritchie,

    Just a correction, the self portraits on Aaron Hobson's webpage are by Aaron Hobson, not me (I'm Andy Frazer... I just moderate this blog).

    Thanks for your comments

    Oops.... Yeah, I need to get more sleep at night.
    I was impressed by Aaron's self-portraits. They are quite creative--he's obviously very talented.

    Wow, his photography is amazing. I love pictures taken at night because the street lights, city lights, etc. always make the photography come out stunning.
