Thanks!

If you’re interested in photography, building your own camera is extremely rewarding, and I can’t recommend it strongly enough. Hit me up if you need any guidance!

Thanks!

Cabbage covered a bunch of the process below. In this case, I had a neutral grey background and laid on my back, sticking my hands into the view of the camera. And while watching the scan progress on a screen I moved my hands around until I got this.

It’s a fairly cumbersome process, as each scan takes a couple of minutes and any unintended motion gets captured as well. Out of the 40 or so attempts, this one is the cleanest, both with regards to unintended motion, and with the pose coming out the way I wanted it to.

Hey, thanks!

I get you, the guy at the print-shop I use has asked me several times if my art is artificially generated.

I don’t know what you expect as evidence, but I’ll try.

This is a picture from my last exhibition, and the box there is the scanner-camera.

The fabric is 15 meters by 145cm, I have friends holding it stretched out of frame at both sides.

This is another shot from the same shoot. I think it’s very dynamic, but I like the ‘sunbeam’ from the original post better.

And this is a still from a video I took of my friend playing around With the fabric in the wind before she jumped down from the boulder I made her stand on in order to get the original shot.

I hope that covers it. The wavy pattern is due to the linear sampling of the scanner, and the play of motion over time.
