Voyages Along Re-imagined Utopian Worlds By Jean-François Rauzier via Yatzer

Highly acclaimed, multi award-winning French photographer and visual artist Jean-François Rauzier has quite a long tradition as a distinctive visual storyteller and a prolific purveyor of re-imagined photographic hyper realities and utopian worlds. In 2002, he invented the concept of the HYPERPHOTO, an elaborate virtual image consisting of several hundreds of shots taken with a telephoto lens and then digitally stitched together with the aid of technology. Each composition is made up of between 600 and 3,500 individual close-up images and amounts up to 120.000.000 pixels in total. ”It’s an attempt to reveal every element of a place, taking photos as closely as possible, as widely as possible, and from all angles”
