Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Massimo Vitali is a photographer of landscapes. But in his case, the panoramic views he captures are more concerned with the swell and shape of human bodies than any mountainside or savannah. Here, arms and legs and torsos fill tracks of sand, swathes of pools or lawn, and large town squares. It's only possible to see these subjects—unknowable and so far off—as tourists in the terrain they crowd. Even in the interior shots of crowded nightclubs or mega-church gatherings, people look small, staged, and overexposed to light or each other. In some of our favorite shots, poolside scenes melt into a bleached-out, borderless realm. The few images largely bereft of humans are inhabited instead by their fold-out chaise lounges, like patient creatures waiting for their people to return.
