INTRODUCING: CHRIS METTRAUX

PHOTO: C METTRAUX

Chris Mettraux is a photographer whose feel for perspective is clear to see in this panorama, "Lac", and in much of his work.

It's not easy to capture the desired composition when working with pinhole cameras. Whether you're using a rudimentary viewfinder or relying on eyesight alone, achieving the optimum framing, depth and dynamics demands patience and experience. It's hard not to feel disappointed when a photo for which you had such high hopes is invaded by an object you were sure was well outside the FOV, or ruined by an error of judgement positioning the tripod.

Chris Mettraux defeats these challenges spectacularly. Thank you, Chris, for getting involved.

"Lac" was taken with a Holga WPC camera on Shanghai GP3 100 ISO film.
