Science_photo_library_anatomical_traveloScience Photo Library has announced an exclusive distribution deal with Alexander Tsiaras collection of 'never-before-seen' images of the human body. These images are computer-built visualizations of data from the bodies of a man and woman who died in the early 1990s and donated their corpses to medical science. The bodies were frozen solid in a block of gelatin and then sliced from head to toe into more than 1800 ultra-thin layers and every 4mm of the body was polished and photographed. Maria Storey, Sales and Marketing Director of Science Photo Library, says: "The composites that Tsiaras creates are all scientifically correct, with the data derived from the most up-to-date medical imaging techniques. He then enhances the images by computer, adding light and colour, and transforms then into powerful artistic statements." Click here to view the press release.
