Artist who uses a flat bed scanner to create images of flowers and fauna. I watched the video of him working from his site, and his process includes setting up his flowers in a box with a black background to scan. He can preview the scan as many times as he wants until he is satisfied enough to make the scan. During his editing process, he tries not to manipulate his work too much. He said he doesn't want to focus of his work to be the editing, but the subject itself. When I first saw his work of flowers, I assumed they were photographs. I was surprised to learn that they were made using a scanner. I am realizing how much scanners are important and can be important tools in making photographic art.
