The x-ray object photography of Brendan Fitzpatrick offers a different perspective of common creatures, flowers and mundane items. Whether the Australian photographer has decided to capture a toy robot to a blooming tulip, the transparent images offer a different take that many people will gravitate towards.

Titled [Invisible Light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible), the x-ray object photography was achieved by using [chest x-ray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-xray) and mammogram machines. According to Psfk, "Fitzpatrick seeks to explore the potential that radiography has in the art world, showcasing x-ray images of three kinds of subjects." Unlike standard x-rays, these images are much more vibrant than one would expect. That is because he has manipulated the images to add more color while highlighting their inner inner features.
