Aaron Hobson 'Cinemascapes'

Aaron Hobson is the star of his own hauntingly beautiful photos. His different take on traditional panoramic photography is something I would like to try. Our focal planes are shifted, and there is more than the eye can see.
There is also an open-ended narrative that provokes us to ask- what exactly is going on here?
I almost see Hobson's work as resting in the space between Sam Taylor-Wood's Revolutionary Seconds, and Gregory Crewdson's Twilight or Beneath the Roses.


'a decisive moment'


'visitors'


'answer the fucking phone'


...and a photograph from his new work-in-progress series 'Femme verite' which continues to follow Hobson's personal narrative through self-portraiture while introducing a female alter.


'complacent'

*They even have the black bars to emphasize the cinematic feeling!*
