Was having a look through a modern art book in Waterstones and found this guy, Nick Veasey. He takes pictures using x-ray machines, airport security scanners etc. to produce some pretty cool images.
There's something a bit voyeuristic about some of them, particularly the clothing ones. Others, that focus their attention on technological/structural objects, including people are fascinating to look at. Some, like the flower above, are just fantastic images.
A quick look at Nick's 'About' highlights how he aims to subvert our cultural emphasis on image. He wants to add intrigue to the familar by representing the integral beauty: "by revealing the inside, the quintessential element of my art specualtes upon what the manufactured and natural world really consists of." He's got a short section on the process of making these things on his site - really interesting.
