Pioneering 3D Portrait Photography.
I create photo-accurate sculptures of people.
This technique reveals shape.
Photographs are no longer flat.
I Photograph individuals,
couples,
family trees,
tell stories in 3D,
make memorials
and interpretive sculptures.

Everyone should get a 3D portrait
It is a great thing to give.
To really appreciate these, you have to touch them, feel them with your eyes close and live with them.
then you realize how revolutionary they are.
A 3D portrait of an individual is a powerful, highly personal object.
Brief overview and samples video.
Briefly the Process
My camera, a 3D scanner, an Artec Leo, captures shape in addition to color. The camera aims at the subject from all sides.
A computer fuses the camera data into a model.
I refine the models, repairing and smoothing via digital 3D manipulation. I augment the data – sometimes adding a base, or sculpting additions or distortions.
In making a wood prints, CAM software converts the shape data into instructions for the CNC router (open-source design I built) on exactly how to carve the shape.
For 3D resin prints, I use slicing software which makes thousands of .05 mm thick layers that build up. Finally, I sand, finish, sign, document and post the work.

An example of what the camera caught Click link.
This gives an interactive view. You should be able to see the person from all sides, angles and zoomed. There are different surface options such as full color and the only one color with some lighting which gives an indication of what it may look like when sculped into an object. Click the icon that looks like a yo yo and try choices.
My goal is to 3D photograph as many different shaped people as possible.
