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.
You’re spot on, it’s a really slow rolling shutter. I like the idea of focusing in on what is normally considered an undesirable artifact and elevating it to become the centerpiece. Messing around with motion gets some wild results and is a lot of fun!
