To be honest, I am not familiar with photographic techniques at all, so the discussion about the dry vs. wet collodion, variations in emulsions, kinds of plates, were all very new to me. I think these are all very cool processes to read about, but I think I would benefit to a video of some sort which explains this process with more imagery. One thing that I found particularly interesting, was the fact that you could expose a plate multiple times (might be silly but I really had no idea!).<\/p>\n
I personally think there’s an artistic opportunity to be had in X-Ray technology. I personally like how macabre skeletons look under an X-Ray and I see some potential for humor, especially considering it has mainly medical connotations. I also like the idea of scientific representations of creatures being used with an artistic purpose. There’s also this underlying expectation to illustration and imaging in medicine and biology that whatever you are portraying is supposed to depict something from real life. I think playing around with that expectation, maybe by creating some fictional monsters that are X-rayed, or plants that do not and could never exist, but positing them as real, is very interesting.<\/p>\n
