22 Astonishing Photographs Made With An X-Ray

Brendan Fitzpatrick uses modern medical imaging to create stunning works of art.

Where other photographers choose Canon or Nikon, Brendan Fitzpatrick has chosen a medical X-Ray machine to make his art.

And the results are unlike any photo you've ever seen...

An extraordinary interior detail of a crab captured via mammogram.

The mammogram also reveals tiny air bubbles and yolk sacs within a hen's eggs.

And the interior structures of preserved terrapin specimens.

But probably most spectacular is Brendan's X-rays photos revealing the complex mechanical and electrical components hidden in children's toys.

In hoping to capture the internal beauty of nature, Brendan turned his attention to one of art history's favorite subjects - the flower.
