Live! 3D! Naomi! Online! Again! Monday! Link. Photographer Nick Knight talks about the project on his blog, where you can also see 3D renders and view video essays from the photographer.
In this one, Knight explains how he became interested in 3D body scanning:
It seemed to me that this was a step between 2D photography, and 3D sculpture. It has been used a lot in the film world and gaming world, but in fashion it hasn't been used very much… [Naomi] is… a blank canvas on which fashion photographers and designers communicate to their audience.
The 3D body scanner device Knight is using for the Live Naomi project comes from UK-based scanning technology firm Rapido3d: Link. (thanks, Susannah Breslin!)
