Scannography

In todays lesson we were looking Scannography.  Scannography is a technique used by some artists to create interesting images using only a scanner. To understand the technique and have a look at some examples of scannography I used this website > http://scannography.org

Using pretty much what I had in my bag at the time I decided to create my own Scannography image.

I first placed the objects I was going to capture on the scanner, before opening photoshop. From there I went to File > Import > Images From Device.

I then checked everything was set up how I wanted, cropped the image slightly, and selected Save As IMB so that I can open the image on any computer. 

Here is the original image : 

From there I cropped the image slightly so that the sunglasses were the main focus. I thought the image looking very dark and flat so I turned up the brightness and then the contrast  as well as the saturation slightly to create this image : 

Although this is a very basic image I really liked the results of using just a scanner and I can imagine doing so much with it. I'd really like to create some more scanography in the future with different objects to create more intricate images.
