X rays and photography

My entry to the "Where Art Meets Science" competition (mentioned in my earlier post) is constantly changing now I've started to produce some mono prints and stencils for it. My initial idea is still the same but I feel like I'm still searching for the best way to present it...

During some more research (my new favourite thing ever - seriously) I came across the work of the Spanish photographer, Max de Esteban. In his photo series "Proposition One" many retro objects like analog cameras, record playes, and other retro gadgets are depicted in ghostly X-rays-style images. 



What interested me most was the fact that his images weren't created with an X-ray, but by disassembling the objects, painting them white, and taking many photographs as he reassembled them piece by piece. The final image is a photograph made up of many layers of the object.  





This series of photographs will be a great source of inspiration for the screen prints I plan on doing. I better get Photoshop-ing! The deadline's less than two weeks away now!!!

I'll keep you posted
