Nick Veasey is a British photographer who specializes in X-ray photography. He was born in 1962 and his career started off doing advertising and still photography. He then transitioned to this niche medium in 2009 when a few of his major pieces were featured at the Maddox Fine Arts, London.

In order to pursue his interest in X-ray photography, he has built a concrete bunker at his studio to keep the radiation in and has one of the largest X-ray machines in the world.

He claimed he used the largest X-ray machine in the world to photograph a ‘Boeing 777 jet’ but this statement was debunked after the exhibition in 2009. One of his most famous pieces is a photograph of a Boeing 777 jet. He describes his process in an interview with Clarendon Fine Art gallery. Another of his peices is of a mini, and He says as the car was so large, he used the official manual to disassemble it and then he and a team of four X-rayed each individual part over a period of a six months and then reassembled all the X-rays in Photoshop.

In many of his images, there are depictions of humans, but as exposure to X-rays is dangerous for humans, he uses skeletons covered in meat to give a skin and bone effect. He has also set up a fail-safe in the form of an on button outside the bunker, so you have to be outside the bunker with the door closed in order to turn the X-ray on.
