PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY a technique using specialized equipment that captures images with elongate fields of view, wide format photograhy.
I recently purchased these two vintage photographs by commercial photographer E.O. Goldbeck. (1892-1986). Eugene Omar Goldbeck used a Cirkut Camera which held film that was up to 10” wide by 48” long.
The camera revolved on a tripod while the film
advanced at the same speed.
Goldbeck worked as a “kidnapper”, the expression for photographers who took a free picture of a large groups of people, then sold prints to the individuals in the photographs. He was known as the "unofficial photographer of America's military”. He pushed the limits of his craft by working with large groups, which at times numbered up to 23,000 people arranged in striking designs.
