More About Photo Scanner Photography

Getting started in photo scanner photography is easy. It can get more technical as your curiosity grows.

This site is an introduction to scanography.

By now, many of you are trying to find that old flatbed scanner you stored away.

You are not alone.

There are over 100 sites on the internet exploring this unique photo technique.

Exciting, isn't it?


Some sites are, well, a little off the wall. Others are pure art. And then there are instructional sites.

Computer Savvy, But New to Scanography?

When I first discovered scanography, I searched the web to find others as fascinated as I was. It took me awhile -- I really didn't know what to call it or where to search.

I eventually found two scanography artists who were especially gracious about sharing their flatbed scanner experiences. I continue to learn from them and others.

When I found Patri Feher, I felt like I was finally getting somewhere. Patri spends days on end creating images, many from her beautiful garden. Her site, Black Rose Gallery, is full of detailed information. Her instructions will take you beyond Auto Mode.

The second scanographer I found was Vincent de Groot.

Vinc is a professional photographer who travels the world for amazing shots. He is also very willing to share his knowledge about scanner photography. His exceptional 'Food' scans are only surpassed by his very clear 'how-to' section.

They're very tasty.

I placed a sprig on the glass of my scanner and this is the result.
