Whats the difference between Almonts 3D photos and so-called “lenticular” 3D images?
A. Almont uses lenticular lens technology to create a real three-dimensional photograph He does not use gimmicks or tricks to simply create a 3D effect. His multi-perspective images come from reality, a true photographic image not from inside a computer. To date, lenticular has been used primarily for winking-eye-type animations and cut-up, stacked images created with computer software. Years ago, there were multi-lens film cameras but their fixed (and low quality) lenses limited the quality and precise alignment required for accurate what you see in real life recreation. Some people are experimenting with a single camera solution that moves along a rail, but this process is limited to objects that dont move and is analogous to closing one eye and moving your head from side to side. Almonts process is unique and his photos go beyond museum quality. Their limited-run availability makes them appropriate for collectors. As you move one of Almonts photos, the images stay stable and the lev
