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.

But wait, if the scanner was your camera then how did you take the picture?

They scanned a mirror.

What do you mean how?

Are you asking "how did you press the button"? Or "how does it work"?

It's a meme (holy crap that was 14 years ago!). Look at the top comment chain.

Oh neat! Yup. I knew about that meme. Wild that it's that old now.
