Alexandre Duret-Lutz, a Paris-born photographer,  uses a Pentax K10D with fisheye lens to focus on spherical panoramas and Escheresque spirals.

Expressed in technical terms, Alexandre calls his images “stereographic projections of equirectangular panoramas”.

Using a sophisticated transformation process, Alexandre first builds a 360-degree x 180-degree panorama, then projects it to look like a small planet.

His perspective makes his work beautiful and dizzying.

His website Wee Planets reflect his fascination with curvature and panoramas.
