X-ray photos turn everyday objects into art
A photographer has used scientific equipment to create a series of images which show the beauty hidden in everyday objects.Nick Veasey, works in a lead-lined studio in Kent and often collaborates with scientists and radiographers to create the stunning images.
When taking each shot he locks the studio and stands outside during the exposure of the images. Geiger counters are used to ensure safety as x-rays are a form of ionizing radiation and can be dangerous.
Nick says the images are then digitized using a giant 13-foot scanner and composed on computer. The whole process for each piece can take weeks, or even months. His new book 'X-Ray: See through the world around you', reveals the intricacy of everyday objects including, animals, plants, machinery and even clothing.
Images taken from X-Ray by Nick Veasey, published by Goodman (an imprint of Carlton Books) at £25. Available from all good bookshops or on www.amazon.co.uk
