Award-winning photographer Nick Veasey uses a variety of specialised imaging equipment to create images that see within. Often collaborating with scientists and boffins, he has built a strong body of work that enables the viewer to appreciate what goes on underneath the surface. The subject matter of these enlightening images is entertaining and wide ranging. X-rays are primarily used for diagnostic radiography and crystallography; they are a form of ionizing radiation and as such can be dangerous. Veasey works in a lead-lined studio that is locked, with him on the outside, during the exposure of the images. Geiger counters are used to ensure safety. Once the x-ray has been exposed on to film it is then scanned at ultra high resolution with special scanning equipment tailored for the process. These digital images are then composed and embellished on computer. The whole process can take weeks, or even months. Often improvising and experimenting, Nick Veasey has created images of the everyday and the bizarre. The contrasting influences of inner strength and outer beauty that these pictures highlight remind us all not to judge by outward appearances.

X-ray Picture Book in the World the Most Beautiful [The Book (Soft Cover)]

<p>A new collection of work by British photographer Nick Veasey. We live in a world obsessed with Image. What we look like, what our clothes look like, houses, cars I like to counter this obsession with superficial appearance by using x-rays to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface. Often the integral beauty adds intrigue to the familiar. We all make assumptions based on the external visual aspects of what surrounds us and we are attracted to people and forms that are aesthetically pleasing. I like to challenge this automatic way that we react to just physical appearance by highlighting the, often surprising, inner beauty Nick Veasey Human activity and everyday objects are shown in an entirely new light in this highly unusual photo book. Photographer Nick Veasey uses X-ray technology to depict daily life and the result is amusing, overwhelming and sometimes slightly disturbing. His unique photography method with huge X-ray machines combines documentary with art. While most artists claim to delve beneath the surface of their subjects, none has got to the core of our being in quite the way that Nick Veasey has managed.</p>
