In his paintings, Benjamin Long has been combining images, often on separate panels, for many years. This aesthetic has been carried over into his recent photos, in which images are placed side by side into a panoramic-format picture wherein the individual elements relate to and support each other visually and conceptually. Using vintage cameras which require a slower, more thoughtful approach to photography, he shoots on various types of film: transparency, negative, and instant. His work is an ongoing effort to reconcile disparate elements such as structure and chance; personal information and an aesthetic connection to the viewer.
