Esteban Pastorino

I found Esteban Pastorino work to be very inspiring. His alternative processes are innovative and unique in the ways he shoots his photographs. His mechanical engineering background has enabled him to create aerial photographs that are not something that are very easily achieved. A great deal of planing and logistics goes into Pastorino’s work. As he mentioned, he has a very hands on processes. He started creating his work with simple tools like kites and remote controlled helicopter. He then later moved on to small planes. He also has an interest in panoramic photography. He creates long continuous negatives that capture an entire 360 degree view of an area. 

I enjoyed Pastorino’s work. The idea of photographing while driving in an idea that I have recently become interested in. His long negatives are what intrigued me the most. I like the fact that the shot is continual, and not broken down into frames. From his work I get a very documentary feeling. He is not doing a lot of editing and manipulation. What he is doing is recording what a place looks like as time passes.
