“I use the multi-shot for almost everything apart from portraits – sometimes even in landscape photography,” explains Italian photographer Roberto Bigano. “The multi-shot makes the best of every situation, even when you need long exposures or the air is full of dust”. Roberto Bigano is a longstanding master of multi-shot technology and is frequently summoned when pinnacle image quality is of the essence. For example, when priceless drawings from Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Atlanticus were removed from their safekeeping in Milano’s famous Biblioteca Ambrosiana for a very short period, it only made sense to use the best possible equipment available on the planet for their photographic documentation. Bigano also photographed Leonardo’s famous drawing on page 46 (Turin, Biblioteca Reale) which is often referred to as a self-portrait. There were certain, unforeseen side effects: “Because the exposures were so sharp, we discovered that several drawings showed serious conservation issues,” Bigano says.
Notes to the published image: This Leonardo da Vinci drawing was photographed by Roberto Bigano. The original size measures
only 13,13 by 8,38 inches. The tremendous wealth of detail brings to light every stroke and every spot in the paper.
