Scanography
In this series of images I experimented with scanography. By using the surface of my scanner as a canvas, I tried out different ways of contorting different parts of the body, such as the hands and the face. As the scans were taken from left to right at a slow pace, I was able to move whilst the image was taken to make reflections and to capture movement. I found that the distance from the glass allowed different levels of detail to be captured. Additionally, I placed sweet wrappers and flower petals on the scanner which added crinkley and wispy elements into the photos. I used a flashlight behind the person which made these streaky white lines of light across the image through the translucent parts of the hair and wrappers. Towards the end, I stuck cling film onto the glass and found that it made a beautiful effect over the image and enabled me to use steam to conceal certain parts of the face.
