Multiple Images of a Complex Nature

I began to work with the concept of reconstructing the landscapes using fragments of different viewpoints to better show my personal, internal vision of the landscape. This came about when I became very frustrated with my approach to landscape photography, I just could not put everything I wanted to say in single frame. I put three photographs together, so that at first glance they look like a panorama but after closer examination are three different viewpoints of the landscape pieced together. Using this technique I expand or condense the landscape, sometimes showing the passage of time or even a more abstract view of the subject. This method allows me to make images that deal with Landscape as fact, as culture and as pure form. Chaddy Dean Smith, Commerce, TX 2023
