In 2006, as the result of working on a panoramic assignment for the then-under- construction Newseum in
Washington, DC, I became fascinated with the power of digital photographic processes to reveal relationships that
create a broader sense of place. By shooting, blending, and digitally stitching multiple exposures of a scene together
into a seamless composition, a passage of time is suspended within the confines of a still image. I strive to capture
dynamic panoramas that portray perspective and relationships that engage the viewer deeper into the scene.
During most of my photography career, I have worked primarily as a people/portrait photographer, which I still actively
pursue and enjoy. I also documented difficult social problems, including a long term project related to the
environmental justice movement in the US showing people living in the shadow of petro-chemical factories and
hazardous waste dumps.
Springing from my panoramic work, I am thrilled to also be involved in the exciting world of creating architectural and
scenic imagery, working with various architecture, construction, landscape, institutional clients, as well as on my own
projects. Please visit kittner.com to see the full range of my work and kittnerstore.com for online print sales.
