Use of the large format camera inspires creation of an image as fine
art. Where one can express a vision rather than merely take a picture.
The ground glass image appears upside down and reversed, accentuating
the forms of line, shape and tonality in an abstraction that clarifies.
The large viewing area invites the eye to scan the entire composition
and note every detail and shade.
For those who require ultimate image quality and control, nothing compares
with the results from a large format camera.
A great range of image control allows you to create the unusual from the
ordinary. Movements such as tilt and swing allow ultimate control over
perspective, subject shape and focus, including dramatic increase or decrease
in depth of field. Parallel movements including rise, shift and revolving
back allow for freedom of composition without repositioning the camera.
The lack of automation and the simplicity of exposure setting emphasize
technical excellence. The entire process brings the photographer to another
level of concentration that ultimately results in a more expressive and
refined vision.
