X-Ray Art by Nick Veasey

This is a very valuable book, trading for around 24,000 to 80,000 yen domestically.
I received it in new condition from a bookstore that handles many valuable foreign books.

The content explores what machines, people, animals, plants, clothing, etc., would look like in X-ray photographs.
The author's style seems to feature many works using X-rays.

Award-winning photographer Nick Veasey uses various specialized imaging equipment to create images that look inside.
Actively collaborating with scientists and experts, he has produced many powerful works that allow viewers to understand what is happening beneath the surface.
The subjects of these enlightening images are diverse and entertaining.
X-rays are mainly used for diagnostic radiography and crystal structure analysis, but they can be dangerous because they are a type of ionizing radiation.
Veasey works in a lead-lined studio and remains outside the locked studio during shooting.
A Geiger counter is also used to ensure safety.
When the X-rays expose the film, it is scanned at ultra-high resolution using a dedicated scanning device.
These digital images are then synthesized and processed on a computer. This entire process can take weeks or even months.
Nick Veasey has created images capturing a variety of subjects, from the everyday to the bizarre, often improvising and experimenting. The contrasting impact of the inner strength and outer beauty that these photographs emphasize reminds us all not to judge by appearances.
