Using security scanners and x-ray machines, Nick Veasey creates images that reveal a startling intricacy in everyday objects, animals, and plants—from an x-rayed Boeing 777 to the elaborate geometry of an MP3 player's circuit boards, and the graceful structure of a translucent daffodil. His images have been featured in the New York Times, the Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, and Die Zeit. Working in a lead-lined studio, Veasey makes x-ray exposures on film, scans them at ultrahigh resolution, and then uses a computer to compose and embellish the images, a process that can take weeks or even months, but whose results speak for themselves.
