In the Round
12 March to 6 April 2008
Judy Cassab [detail]
by Roman Uhliar Romanski
Born and educated in the Slovak Republic before migrating to Australia in 1998, Roman has travelled the world photographing and winning awards with his images. He works with the unique panoramic camera, a Seitz Roundshot, which has a variable picture angle of 1 to 740 degrees. Placing himself centre stage he photographs his subjects in the round in one continuous shot. The results are intriguing, especially the portraits, as his “sitters” change positions during the making of the photographs and appear in various places and poses all in the one frame.
