Nick Veasey (b. 1962) is a British photographer and artist from London who uses X-ray imaging to explore the structures beneath the surface of everyday objects.
After working in advertising and conventional photography, Veasey began experimenting with X-rays when a television commission required him to scan a drinks can. He also scanned his own shoes, an experiment that helped establish the direction of his subsequent work. His process combines radiographic imaging with digital assembly, allowing separate exposures to become larger compositions.
By revealing what an object contains rather than how it appears, Veasey questions the importance we place on outward appearances. His work brings together art and science, examining the materials and construction of both manufactured objects and the natural world.
