During the isolation of 2020 in the 2nd wave of Covid - I created my first scanograph - Lilac. Scanography is the art of using a scanner in lieu of a camera. It allows for very detailed and large resolution images (572 million px) which I edit all by hand.

Yes, though you’ll definitely get better results from higher end models…though that brings downsides of lots of dust and microparticles…these take me dozens of hours - usually in the 30+ hour range to make sure the images are perfectly clean. Definitely have to be a little crazy :-)

That looks amazing. Can any scanner be used?

Just a flatbed prosumer scanner! I have some tricks I’ve learned through trial and error ;-)
