Martin Wilson - Interesting Approach to Sequence Photography

 Martin Wilson takes sequences of carefully posed and considered photos. His Artworks or final images are made using his Contact Sheets blown up large scale. This is slow and careful and very methodical

He has not published any work for about 7 years on his website, but his work in incredible and an interesting take on sequence or joiner photography
