- Biography
In 1996 Ian went back to university as a way of changing careers. During the degree he discovered panoramic photography and started building large wooden cameras. After graduating in 2000 he became involved with stitched panoramic photography and was immediately pulled in to the field by the breadth of possibilities for image-making that it opened.
In 2004 Ian's first large-scale commission took place, creating big panoramic images for use in Barclays Bank's new world headquarters in London's Docklands. This body of work can be seen on the Landmarks of Britain website. Several long-term commissions have followed.
As a moderator on two panorama-related email lists and one of the initiators of the annual PanoTools meetings Ian is heavily involved in the panoramic community.
Ian is also the author of Pano2Movie, software for generating video sequences from QTVR panoramas.
