one last thing before I quit

Nick Veasey. The name may not stand out, but his originality most certainly does.

After stumbling upon some of his work a while back now, I can't help but obsess over his site, hoping and waiting for something new. He has spent roughly the last 10 years working on his craft, using industrial x-ray machines, normally used for art restoration, inspecting circuit boards, and checking for stress fractures in army tanks. Ya, I know. Weird.

What sets this apart from your usual x-rays in hospitals, is that instead of exposing you to a couple quick seconds of radiation with the doctor, Veasey will expose his subject with up to 12 minutes of it. That's crazy. This helps get the depth, detail and contrast that he needs. But don't worry! He generally uses skeletons to mimic humans. Though he has had access to corpses in the past.

Enough talk. Here's some samples:

Nick borrowed a cargo x-ray machine from the US-Mexico border to get the shot of the bus. He then took separate x-rays of a skeleton and pieced it all together. A hospital in New York used this as for promoting themselves by putting it onto the side of an actual bus. Frequent complaints from citizens had it removed.

A simple turntable that he later colored in Photoshop.

Nick used all three, yes, three of his x-ray machines to complete this office scene. He captured each item individually and used just one skeleton throughout. He then pieced it all together in Photoshop. It took over 200 x-rays.
