Unique hydro-print tech lets you Photoshop your actual body
If you want to banish a blemish or add a fanciful flourish to your photograph, that’s easily done with Photoshop. It’s not as easily done on your actual body. Israeli photographer and industrial designer Guy Aon aims to change that. Aon’s tentatively titled BodyPiece technology could revolutionize a broad range of sectors, from makeup to prosthetics to fashion.

A combination of the ancient Japanese suminagashi marbling method and modern hydro-printing

Say you want to cover a burn scar on your hand. Aon takes a picture of your other hand, adjusts it to perfection on Photoshop and prints it onto a special type of paper using non-toxic ink. He immerses the paper in water. The paper dissolves, leaving behind the ink suspended on the water. Then you submerge the scarred part of your hand and the ink settles on it precisely in the correct pattern. It stays there until you scrub it off. “The result is actually amazing,” Aon tells ISRAEL21c. “It’s hard to see any difference between the image and the body itself. It’s a smooth continuation. And it’s very elastic so it moves with your skin.” A combination of the ancient Japanese suminagashi marbling method and modern hydro-printing, Aon’s technique can work on just about any material.-- More...
