Your Panorama COVID19 update
Having spent most of the winter in Switzerland (until it was so rudely interrupted), it is now time to work from home for a while. While the timing is not perfect as I had some ski-touring plans for the rest of the season, like everybody else I take it on the chin and I am now back in London. And you know what? The air is much cleaner than before and suddenly it’s not unhealthy to go for a run along a street. If we could keep it that way, we might actually live longer thanks to this current wake up call (but that’s just my view).
Work I have plenty and here a little update on what I was doing during the first weeks of my confinement.
I finished the draft for my book called ‘Mon Valais/My Valais’ and am currently looking for editors. It’s a photo journey through the four seasons of my time in the Valais (a canton in Switzerland). With roughly 220 pages it will be a beautiful coffee table book for anyone who has a place in the Valais or wishes to bring back a souvenir from their holiday. Over the years I have taken a vast amount of photos other than just the panoramas you would expect me to. I also managed the Instagram account of a small ski resort (@latzoumaz) which inspired me to work on my collection. I will keep you updated on the progress of this project.
I prepared the 2021 calendars for London and Switzerland. Usually, I would print them soon in order to have them ready for a fair in Switzerland in June, but as this year everything is a bit different, I wait until later in the year. If you want to put in a preliminary order, now is the time
I worked on a few labeled panoramas, here just an example. The photo (or series of photos in this case) was taken by a customer on a smartphone, I stitched the photos together, improved the result and labeled the mountains.
If you have a bit of time on your hands, now might be the perfect moment to work with me on a labeled panorama for you. If you answer yes to the following questions, you know how to reach me 😉.
A) Do you have a camera or a smartphone
B) If you look outside, do you have a view that is worth labeling? Mountains, hills, potentially a cityscape?
Get in touch and we can work together to get you a labeled panorama, printed on a surface of your choice.
I hope you are well and make the most of these unusual times.
