With a focus on the spectators and natural landscapes surrounding them, Paolo Pellizzari photographs major sporting events, his panoramic wide frames capturing intimate details at once, and offering a humane and beautiful earnestness. His roots are deep in the Dussledorf School of Photography, a dedication to the large-scale format reminscent of Andreas Gursky. It's an artistic value that dominates every composition, the constant attention to get the entire view on a large format.“This is not conventional sports photography, the kind that sticks to the hero from the breakaway to the podium," Pellizzari tells The Creators Project. "I have opted for a wider view like a stage play, it allows each aspect to be examined: the competitors as well as the spectators."Check out more of Pellizzari's panoramic sports photos below:Paolo Pellizzari's photographs are currently on display in an exhibit at Anastasia Gallery in New York, through August 31st.Related:Pelle Cass' Time-Lapse Photos Outsmart Even The Trickiest PhotographersSatellite Photography Site Offers A Daily View Of Life From AboveSee Rare Photos of The Police, LL Cool J, & More in a New Photography Exhibition
