A slowly exposed petal reveals itself as light reflects from or passes through its delicate surfaces. Hidden views not otherwise available come to life with the high resolution process used to capture these digital images.
New work by Marsha Tudor displays a range of interpretations that originate with direct digital capture. She explores translucency, transparency, back-lighting, shallow lighting, inversions, and layering. Organic images grow from an “other-worldly” garden, each explored in microscopic detail.
Dramatic black backgrounds focus attention on exquisitely rendered surfaces or stark white backgrounds provide illumination for transparency and shadow.
Recent studies also explore what characteristics embody the essence of scanner photography. What things distinguish scanner photography from traditional photography? How can these unique attributes be used to make images not possible other ways? And, of course, how these techniques can be used to serve artistic objectives.
