Innovative fashion shoot puts model face-down on a scanner

Henry Hargreaves
Photos from a fashion shoot done with a scanner instead of a traditional camera.
By Devin Coldewey, msnbc.com
Photographer Henry Hargreaves created a unique look for a recent fashion shoot by choosing not to use a camera at all. Instead, he had the model and jewelry pressed up against a common flat-bed scanner. The result is a faded, ghostly look a bit like putting your face on the copier, but done with artistic flair.
Hargreaves explained that when he was approached to capture images of a jewelry collection, he wanted to try something more interesting. His primary motivator was, ironically, that shooting fashion photos isn't really his line of work: "To be a successful fashion photographer, you have to care about fashion." He wanted to make more of an art project out of it, and thought the scanner idea fit the subject well.

The model was required to sit still for up to half a minute for shots like this one.
The scanner itself is just a standard large-format one "the cheapest of the biggest" and didn't have any special modifications other than taking the lid off and putting it on a stand. Even the images it put out didn't get much in the way of tweaking. The trouble was that, without any image preview or review, he had to experiment with different factors like how to arrange the items and the model, as well as how to keep things steady for the 30 seconds it would take to capture the image.
Hargreaves was also concerned about how much pressure should be put on the glass. Not just because it might break, but because so little of the image is in focus above the scanner surface that a tiny change in pressure might make the model's eyes or skin look totally different. In the end, it was simple trial and error.
It's not the first time a scanner or copier has been used for this type of image, though the look Hargreaves created is certainly different. Tori Amos has some album art done in a similar way, and Belgian artist Lieve Prins actually did copier-based art live on stage. And of course there are the innumerable minor pieces created by bored, mischievous office workers worldwide.

Manchester City Gives Enclosed Rooftop Soccer Field to New York City Public School (Video)
Posted: at 5:20 am
Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour isn't just spending his money on players who deliver trophies. He's also spreading the club's goodwill around the world.
On June 6, an enclosed rooftop soccer field was unveiled at Public School (P.S.) 72 Lexington Academy in the New York City neighborhood of East Harlem. The facility was a present from Manchester City and the embassy of the United Arab Emirates, Sport 360 reports.
"The pitch was a gift ... as part of an initiative set up between the embassy and City when the Premier League champion first toured the United States in the 2010 summer," the report reads.
"The facility, which is the first of its kind in Manhattan ... offers year-round award-winning coaching and education programs from Manchester City."
Both Lexington Academy students and 600 other local kids will have exclusive access to the field. The synthetic surface was originally laid on the school's roof in 2010, but the City and the U.A.E. paid over $250,000 (164,000) to fund the enclosure project.
Although there are a few exceptions, kids who grow up in American cities have little exposure to soccer. This is partly because grass (or turf) fields are in short supply in urban areas. Back in 2010, City defender Pablo Zabaleta told the Guardian these types of facilities can help change that dynamic of the sport in America.
"It's not just about coming to the US, training, playing some games then leaving," Zabaleta said. "We want to do something different and to leave a legacy here. It shows the club is not just about spending big money on players, but important projects like this.
"From my own experience in Argentina, the thought of a poor area getting a facility like this is fantastic. I grew up in a small city away from Buenos Aires but the best example in Argentina would be Carlos Tevez, who was born in a really poor area with a reputation for criminals and trouble. Every time he goes back he takes shirts and football equipment to the local people. So many players from Argentina and Brazil come from areas like this and all they need is an opportunity. This will help us produce the Tevezs and Robinhos of the future."
The facility in "Spanish" Harlem will give plenty of kids a chance to play the game, and it could even help unearth a gem of a player in New York City. In a time when budget cuts are eliminating gym and other athletic programs from public education, neighborhood kids will have a place to excercise and live a healthier lifestyle. This is a much bigger legacy than what Zabaleta talked about.
U.A.E. ambassador to the U.S. Yousef Al Otaiba and City's U.S. representative Gary Hopkins discuss the Lexington Academy afacility in the video below.
