Scanography
Wow! Who knew you could even do this? Scanography has been called the poor man's large format style of photography. All it basically is, you "photograph" your object by placing it on a flatbed scanner and activate the scan via your editing program. Wow! I'm still excited at what you can achieve. Of course, my first subject is flowers... These are my first attempts at scanography. I really must read up a bit more on this. What I'm wondering though, is just what other unusual forms of photography are out there that I don't know about...

How are you getting the black background? That'd be totally useful for compositing/clipping.
Hey there Drew, I'm using black card to lay over the flowers. Then when I'm importing the scan using PS, I can change the settings (contrast & curves), then in PS I can further darken the background using level and curve layer masks. And you're right, it would be totally useful for compositing/clipping!
Inspiring work with the scanner.
Thanks so much Mike - I appreciate you taking the time to look. :)
