About the Item
In 2009, Hugh was appointed the first Artist in Residence for The British Institute of Radiology, since its inauguration in 1924 and Royal Charter granted by Her Majesty the Queen in 1958. In 2014, Hugh was awarded a Royal Photographic Society Honorary Fellowship, in recognition of his innovative imaging work and its role to promote public scientific engagement.
Hugh works with traditional photographic techniques that produce images without a camera. By placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material and exposing it to light, a silhouette of the object is created on the material. It is a captured shadow of the object. These are called photograms and coincidentally were one of the first photographic imaging techniques used by William Fox Talbot, who called them photogenic drawings.
Now, since the discovery of x-ray by Röntgen, it is possible to create x-ray photograms (e.g. skiagrams, Röntgenograms, shadowgraphs, radiographs).
He has continued this classification naming heritage and created the term XOGRAM.
(referencing ‘X’ for ‘unknown’, the Greek: out: έξω/éxo̱ and drawing: γραμμα/gramma).

Hugh Turvey
Hugh Turvey is a British artist and photographer who uses X-ray technology to create what he calls Xograms, a fusion of visible light and X-ray imagery. Turvey trained as a designer/art director but on discovering photography, he trained under iconic photographer Gered Mankowitz. During 1996–97, he started experimenting with X-ray/shadow photography after being asked to create an alternative revealing image for an album cover. With the encouragement of the Science Photo Library, he went on to produce an extensive series of colored X-rays of everyday objects, which were first published on 4th April 1999 in The Observer and LIFE magazines. In the same year, Credit Suisse discovered Turvey’s X-ray vision and commissioned six groundbreaking motion X-ray European TV commercials.
