Scanned Insects as Art
Posted by Shirley Twofeathers in bugs
Giles Revell uses scanning electron microscopes and digital technology to produce stunning, monochromatic eight-foot-high photographs of insects with an incredible level of detail, depth of field and sculptural feel. This is achieved by making up to five hundred high-resolution scans of sections of the insect, merging and enhancing them to create works that infuse the photographic elements of the images with a “hand-finished” touch.
