75 X-Ray Images Of Nature Taken By Former Medical Physicist Arie Van ‘T Riet
#11 Salamanders, Frogs, Bumblebee, Water Beetle, Sword Flag And Water Gentian
The most challenging part of the creative process for Arie is making the composition. “Usually, I want to make a still life that looks realistic.” The moment the artist really enjoys is when the negative comes out of the processing machine for the first time. “That’s the very first time I see the scene in X-ray. I am delighted and relieved when I succeeded. Unfortunately, it has to be repeated regularly because a leg turns out to be positioned wrong (unnaturally), or something similar. Then I have one negative less. And analog silver bromide films are becoming scarce and expensive.”
