Photographer Graphs Her Images

By Queuebot in Pictures, Science & Tech on Feb 4, 2010 at 11:25 am


Photographer Nikki Graziano takes pictures and then creates graphs of mathematical functions which map nicely to elements of the image. It’s a very neat and beautiful way of combining math, nature, and art together into a single image.

Most of us can’t tell our secant from our cotangent. But the forms are everywhere, and Nikki Graziano wants to help us see them. Graziano, a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology, overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos. “I wanted to create something that could communicate how awesome math is, to everyone,” she says.

    Is it just me or is this yet another case of an "artist" realising their photographs are dull and simply trying to think of a gimmick?

    I guess I didn't get in before the anti-fun, anti-intellectual snark.

    I agree, Norwegian Blue.

    Not even a very interesting gimmick, at that.
