17/10/11 – Photography without a camera?!

I made an image using just an A3 scanner in uni today, I have touched on this type of work before, but it’s something that really catches my imagination - to make images with out a camera. I really like the vivid colours it captures and the way the focus fades on 3D objects as they curve out the way of the light source.

envelope, jewellery, poster, leaves, string, feathers, ornaments.

I then went back to my room and used my basic A4 scanner to make some images, having been inspired and thought of further ideas. We were asked to base our images on what had over our week, and looking at the objects I had I thought they talked a lot about how autumn has started and almost into the phases of winter.

I think I’d really like to use this method of work more, I think it’d be really interesting to layer in images that I have taken on film, and also some of the pinhole images.

I looked online at what some other artists had done with scanner art and came across some really interesting stuff:

I really like the use of the body in the work, I think it adds a lot to the images and becomes more a portrait that a scanned image. I think this is something I want to experiment with over the week.
