German photographer Christian Voigt turns dinosaur skeletons into stunning artworks -- without ever touching a bone.
The fossils in his"Evolution" series are shown in complete isolation, making them look almost alive and giving the impression of highly staged studio photographs.
"I cannot move the skeletons, of course, so I have to work within the existing situations. And I don't use any lights, just available light. Museums don't like it when you start to lay down cables and tripods that can fall; they want minimum risk," Voigt said in a phone interview.The only tool of his trade? A black drape.
It wasn't easy, at the beginning, to convince museums to let him work inside them -- even on days they were closed to the public. But once he could show the initial pictures, doors started opening . His main criteria for selecting which skeletons to photograph is that they must be authentic and complete.
Voigt says that although the subject is hardly new, nobody had photographed dinosaur fossils this way before.
