The last shot I posted gained some traction, so I felt like sharing some more of what I’ve done with my scanner camera. The scan is done from top to bottom in about 2 minutes, the model did a great job of staying still throughout.
While scanning motion is definitely eye-catching and spectacular, there are other qualities to appreciate. The gorgeous soft, yet tack sharp aesthetic of large format photography is easily available with a scanner.
Usually I fight the IR-super sensitivity of the sensor, but this time it made her skin iridescent against the rock in the background.
It really gives an "old camera" vibe. It would be fitting if the background was fake, just in the old images. You have an eye for composition as well.
Thanks! I dream of someday having enough resources to rent a studio space and construct some proper scenography with experts in the field. It could make for some truly wild landscapes and photos.
Wait. Fake backgrounds?
Yeah. In my mind the old (say 18/1900's) photographs are asociated with a fake background. So you see people posing in front of a screen with some scenery. Like

Thanks! Informative.
