Edit
 Aaron Hobson’s panoramic photography is a novel approach to narratives, as they are almost biographical. The images are not only taken from a unique perspective, but also feature Hobson himself as the starring subject. The New York based photographer has dubbed his works “cinemascapes,” the images the result of stitching together elaborate photos to illustrate his narratives. A bit more is explained on his site:  Cinemascapes are a hybrid between autobiography and fiction, with Hobson himself always in the star role. They are at times, haunting and scandalous, other times inspiring, but always come across as closely personal. Reflective of his 30 years of experiences, emotions, and challenges throughout his life, Hobson creates cinemascapes that not only viscerally and visually grab the conscious mind, but also linger in the viewer's imagination and memory.
Unlike a single exposure/frame, creating panoramics from multiple images allows the viewer’s eye to explore shifting focal planes and become immersed into a scene full of unsuspecting details and hidden plots. Each image seemingly captures a moment in time that poses many questions, not the least of which is what's going on here?
