Scanography/scanograms

This technique is where, instead of using a standard camera, you use a scanner to create images. The good thing about this is that you can achieve incredibly high resolution images with great detail.

as you can see the images are very crisp and detailed due to how the scanner works. It works by taking lots of smaller images and stitching them together. I really like scanograms becasue in the right way you can get an image where it looks like the subject is trapped inside behind a layer of glass.

as seen in the image above where the subject looks trapped pressed up against the glass.

also with scanograms you can move something around to create this strange stretched out effect, works very well with hands and fingers. It can look very abnormal and alien.
