Biography: Steven N. Meyer

“By using x-rays instead of light, an unusual inner vision is revealed, and Nature shows us textures, details, and shadows that would otherwise not be seen. Visible light is just a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and falls between x-rays and infrared. My x-ray images are a collection of negatives, positives, and solarized images––solarized being partly negative and partly positive at the same time. Black and white images have been a part of my daily life since 1971. I have experimented with this art form over 25 years as a radiology technologist. Having been involved with traditional landscape photography for many years, the challenges of this alternative technique were many. I’ve attempted to create still life compositions that are quite different from the work of other floral radiographers.”
