"When the market traders had left, there were discarded flowers left on the
road squashed into the ground, but still beautiful. I wanted to capture this
beauty and scanning was the best way to create such movement and action with a
still object."
This is how Richard Dawson
started scannography. This photographer and artist has since developped lots of
styles by using his scanner. I let you discover them on the site. Here a few
images to give you a first approach :
Don't hesitate to go this own website where you can discover a large range of styles and works
