Veasey's journey into X-ray art began serendipitously when he first experimented with X-rays for an advertising project, which ignited a lifelong fascination with the medium. Over the years, he has created intricate and large-scale pieces, including X-rays of objects like cars, flowers, and even entire aircraft. His artistic process involves using industrial-grade X-ray machines in a specially constructed radiation-safe chamber. Each piece is often composed of multiple X-ray images stitched together, as the size of the X-ray machine limits the scope of what can be captured in a single frame.

Nick Veasey’s X-ray art has been exhibited in prestigious institutions worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Fotografiska Museum in Stockholm, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work has earned him collaborations with brands such as Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, and United Airlines. Veasey's art has also graced the cover of TIME magazine, showcasing his ability to merge technical precision with creative expression, and he has a TED Talk.

Veasey's approach is deeply rooted in challenging modern society's obsession with surface-level beauty. His X-ray images metaphorically and literally "look beneath the surface," offering viewers a new way to see the world. This combination of aesthetic appeal and scientific curiosity has made him a highly influential figure in both the art and photography worlds.
