Matthew has been compelled to photograph the Canadian landscape since he was gifted his first camera over 57 years ago. In 2010 on a trip up the Dempster Highway in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, he realized that capturing the vastness of this land required stitched panoramic photographs that mimicked what we see with our peripheral vision, encompassing views of up to 180 degrees. He has since refined his process of panoramic photography with various projects such as “Peripheral Vision at the Edges of Canada”, “Clear Cut” and “Indian Road”. The image included in this show “October Sunrise at Camp, 2014”, is a simpler panoramic technique which stitches just two exposures from a digital technical camera to produce an extremely detailed wide angle image.

As a successful corporate and advertising photographer, Plexman has been working with medium and large format photography for over 40 years and was an early adopter of digital capture in 2001. He owns a studio in Toronto set up as a flexible space for full service photography production, but also as an event space and art gallery.

Plexman attended Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, Photographic Arts Department 1976-1980, graduating in 1980 with Bachelor of Applied Arts in Photography.
