Flowers Under X-Ray

British artist and photographer Hugh Turvey uses x-ray to produce compelling and insightful constructed images of everyday objects. This time he puts flowers under the scanner. (also see gaming consoles and even pin-up girls under X-ray!)

These mesmerising shots are the fruit of years of careful experimentation by artist Hugh Turvey, using x-rays to really get under the surface of things. The technique, which came about thanks to a chance commission from a musician friend who wanted an x-ray image, has been 14 years in the making and has now been so well honed by Hugh that his work is becoming highly sought after. The flowers are the latest in a long line of subjects, including motorbikes, suitcases and stiletto-clad feet. PHOTOGRAPH BY SPL / BARCROFT MEDIA LTD UK Office, London.

Pictures above is a Lily under X-ray.

Hugh Turvey is recognized internationally for his x-ray works and as one of the worlds few contemporary x-ray artists. He continues to experiment with the new emerging x-ray technologies to produce his imagery for projects and commission. The work is observationally perceived and is a multi-stage process leading to intense detail capture with some overt unique coloring techniques applied by hand.
