Wellcome Image Awards 2016

Interesting exhibition at the Science Museum of the winner and shortlists works in the Wellcome Image Awards.

The commentary says the awards aim to showcase the best in science image making and they include ordinary photos, digital photos, clinical photography and painted and drawn illustrations. Each picture had a good commentary with them giving a explanation of what was being shown and details of the methods used to produce the picture.

I loved a picture of moth scales by Mark R Smith where the colour was created from light on the scales, the scales themselves where not actually coloured. Also a stunning picture of an allergic reaction to a henna tattoo by Nocola Kelley which showed the skin raised and blistered and yet covered by a beautiful intricate pattern.

Closes on 19 June 2016
