Fine art scanography has difference with normal document scanning as three dimensional objects including landscapes are used as subjects in this type of photograph.

Scan Photography : Methods Used For Flatbed Scanner Digital Photography

 

Optical resolution of a flatbed scanner can exceed 5000 pixels per inch, which is far higher than any digital camera. The process of taking image from a document is quite slower. By default, depth of field of the scanners is very swallow, focus remains no more than half an inch from the surface. Built-in light and total system provides the great sharpness and color saturation.

As the scanner’s bed is the focal plane, either the artist needs to place the objects on the scanner bed or need to arrange an optical system to focus image on the surface of flatbed scanner. The process does not differ hugely from the vintage photography techniques. Object placed on the surface of scanner either can remain static from start to end of the scan or can be moved for creating artistic effects.
