Jonny Weeks, the picture editor, adapted his favourite World Cup images with a digital flat‑bed scanner to explore alternative photography. He re‑imagined the tournament by applying slit‑scanning—a process that uses a narrow slit inside an analogue camera to wind film past the aperture, capturing the flow of time. Though the technique is tricky and laborious, it yields curiously distorted results that echo the long‑standing rolling‑shutter problem, turning documentary shots into artistic experiments. orlando-books.blog
Jonny Weeks Turns World Cup into Experimental Slit‑Scanning Art
During this World Cup, Jonny Weeks showed how a digital flat‑bed scanner and the old slit‑scanning method can produce striking experimental photos, even without being on the pitch. He demonstrated that experimental images can be made off‑pitch using slit‑scanning.
