At the recent Photo+Adventure trade show in Vienna, Austria my photo and fine art printstudio SALON IRIS proudly presented the giant panoramic photo print “Twilight Light” by Brooklyn, NY photographer Lazarus Jean-Baptiste. It is what we believe is the biggest ever in one piece printed and mounted photo exhibition print.

Printed by SALON IRIS with an HP L28500 latex printer at photographic quality with 1200dpi resolution at the gigantic dimensions of 8,2 x 31,8 feet and mounted in one piece we could impressively demonstrate state-of-the-art photo and printing capabilities.

Brooklyn, NY based photographer Lazarus Jean-Baptiste (a.k.a. LAZARUS2020) was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He moved to NY at the age of 11 where he became a successful make-up artist. Over the past years the skyline of Manhattan has become his prefered “model”. He describes his photographs as “UHDR2” (Ultra High Dynamic Range and Resolution Cityscapes).

Please also see Lazarus´ bio attached.

Lazarus shot 26 individual photos with a Sony Alpha 7II at two rows of 13 images which were stitched for the giant panorama. The lens he used was a Canon EF 200mm F2.8L. He shot from from the New Jersey shores 1,5 miles away. Still individual persons can easily be identified in the windows of the Manhattan skyscrapers!

Interesting side note: Stefan Fiedler only met Lazarus Jean-Baptiste recently and by mere chance in front of the Photoplus Expo 2015 at the NY Javits Center when they started talking about the same Sony Alpha 7RII camera that they had both hanging around their necks. Over a cup of coffee Stefan discovered the incredible talent of the self-taught photographer Lazarus and they both decided to show Lazarus amazing work to the world – starting with the sensational panoramic print and more fascinating ChromaLuxe prints at Photo+Adventure.
