X-rays of flowers by Hugh Turvey
They say beauty is only skin deep - but Hugh Turvey's x-rays of flowers show they are captivating through and through. Hugh, who trained as a designer / art director before studying photography Gered Mankowitz, first used X-rays in 1996 to photograph a human skull as a favour to a musician friend who needed an image for an album cover. He has since used the technique to produce a series of coloured x-rays of everyday objects
Hugh, 39, has been fascinated since childhood with getting underneath the surface of things. He said: "I'm driven by my curiosity. It's about discovering the world around us. As a kid I would take things apart to see what was inside and how they worked. I have an insane curiosity for how things work.
X-ray gives me a way to get that insight and turn it into art"
