Getting X-ray vision
Image from Wired
Nick Veasey photographs familiar objects, but he’s able to capture incredible details we’ll never see with our eyes. That’s because his camera is an industrial x-ray machine. Wired recently ran an article on his work.
The 46-year-old Englishman estimates that over the past decade or so he’s x-rayed more than 4,000 objects: flowers, football players, alarm clocks, tractors, even a 777. “I’m interested in how things work, and x-rays show what’s happening under the surface,” he says. “Plus, they look cool.” To get his pictures, Veasey uses industrial x-ray machines typically employed in art restoration (to examine oil paintings), electronics manufacturing (to inspect circuit boards), and the military (to check tanks for stress fractures).
