11 years old, Lauren is a little woman, from the Antwerp area. Commercial campaigns, be they international or national, portrait her for several clothing brands and she has been posing in front of cameras since the age of four.

A dancer for Dansstudio Ijvi Hagelstein in the show of Studio100, the model has been frozen several times during the exercising, recreating an image which recalls the Ballet Dancers painted by Degas. To built the pano, the photographers let the little Lauren pose in several ways and blended the images, which had the same angles together, before stitching. The colour effects were done in Photoshop and the panorama is in a sepia tone.

Now, just listen to the music and see what happens in the mirror that Lauren has in her hands. She'll reward you with a performance of the art she masters. Click on the images to the floor, to have a zoom of the shots or, alternatively, click the reflected image of her dad in the mirror. Acting as a bodyguard, sitting in the back of the stage, he was paying attention to his child's work, while listening to the music coming from an Ipod. Click there and you'll see a funny sketch.

It's difficult to imagine a picture which is more natural and more full of surprises that the one which was created by Yvan Van Hoorickx and Tom Museeuw, from Fotofolio.be. Rarely I've seen a so beautiful panoramic image and it will be a pleasure to find others alike...

Yvan Van Hoorickx lives in Belgium near the coast, with Linda and their three kids. He started panoramic photographing 5 years ago and he now tries to make a profession out of it, always trying to photograph the extreme. He's a KAPer too (Kite Aerial Photographer) since 2000, using a kite to lift a camera to take aerial shots from a height between 20 and 250 metres, working under the nickname of Birdseye.be. Lately he added a large tripod Manfrotto to his equipment so that now he will have the chance to take panos from a height of 7.5 metres.
