The list of artists involved in VAST gathers an impressive sum of talents such as Aaron Priest, the master of 360-degreeВ photography, or Scott Dimond who is an expert in numerous techniques including near-infinite depth-of-field capture via the focus stacking technique. The VAST collective is open to collaboration and skilled photographers are welcome to join the team. In doing so, we aim to be constructive contributors to the broader photography community, sharing our methods, ideas, and work.вЂќ

Our aim is to operate at the intersection of those two communities, helping to bring together the best of what both have to offer. Both communities are producing superlative photographs, solving challenging problems, and evolving their craft. At the same time, we also have a great deal of respect for the work the community of artistic photographers is doing. Photographer and VAST Founder Dan Piech said:В вЂњWe have a great deal of respect for the work the community of gigapixel photographers is doing. ThatвЂ™s precisely why a group of photographers joined forces to create a collective called VAST in order to conciliate beauty and high definition.

The aesthetic is often sacrificed in the race for resolution. People find it incredibly fascinating and like to explore every little detail of a scene, but they wouldn't want to put one on their wall as artwork. Ultra-high-resolution photography has been around for years now but the technical difficulties associated with the creation of gigapixel images tend to limit the artistic output of this type of photography.
