Ultrawide Exhibition

This collection of images features a number of infrared panoramas of Los Angeles which were on exhibition in May'07 at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art gallery which is located in Downtown L.A., 107 West Fifth Street between Main and Spring.

All of these panoramas are available in editions of 20, up to 90" wide.

Pete Jackson is a native of Northern Ireland who now works and resides in Los Angeles. The images for this exhibit are the result of the last 2 years work, where he brings his earlier experience photographing the overwhelming panoramic beauty of Ireland to focus on his extensive landscape photography in urban Southern California. The majority of his photos are produced in the digital format, and digital cameras enable him to utilize photographic techniques that would not be possible with film, such as Infrared & High Dynamic Range Images. As well, the digital darkroom gives him complete control over every aspect of producing the final image, offering us seamless and perfectly balanced artworks of uncanny beauty. Stitching together multiple images he creates jaw-dropping super wide landscapes of Los Angeles from atop the hills of Griffith Park and other high elevation locations. By utilizing infrared techniques, new levels of clarity and definition are achieved. Subject matter far in the distance, or trees and foliage once subsumed by concrete, are now jumping out of the image quite vividly. With infrared the invisible becomes visible, and these photographs provide a vision of L.A. we would never see without the assistance of new technology in the hands of such a gifted and masterful image maker. Pete Jackson is our best selling artist, a favorite with Los Angelinos and amongst collectors from as far as Hong Kong and the U.K.
