Laurent Thion created his first panorama around the age of thirteen and has now been photographing landscapes for 25 years. "It is the'absolute' aspect of a cubic panorama that fascinates me, and also the fact that the spectator has free access to it." He has perfected his own panoramic head and his work has focused on managing and controlling the point of view, along with light and contrast.
