Stereographic Projections photography , Josh Sommers
The works of american artist Josh Sommers carve out their context, somewhere along the boundaries of landscape photography, art, mathematics, and technology. There’s a crispness to these photos, in that they appear to have been planned from the beginning instead of having an effect slapped on afterward.
The stereographic projection, in geometry, is a particular mapping (function) that projects a sphere onto a plane. The projection is defined on the entire sphere, except at one point — the projection point. It is conformal, meaning that it preserves angles. It is neither isometric nor area-preserving: that is, it preserves neither distances nor the areas of figures.
Please, check it out his artwork over his Flickr, including some great stereographic animations.
