Large scale printed wall image in CT Room

BRISBANE CITY SKYLINE EARLY MORNING SUNSET FROM KANGROO POINT

QScan Radiology selected this image from my archives to have printed at large scale and applied to the walls in their CT Room at their new Clayfield Radiology practice on Brisbanes north side.

The image was taken from Kangroo Point Cliffs looking north towards Eagle Street Pier. It was an early morning in March with pinks, purples and oranges filling the sky completely.

Large Printed Wall on Acoustic Fabric

Queensland X-Ray, Gold Coast Private Hospital

SUNRISE OVER SURFERS PARADISE TAKEN FROM THE SPIT

The brief from Queensland X-ray was to capture an image of the Gold Coast, fairly open but still quite a challenge. The image was to be used in the MRI room in the new Gold Coast Private Hospital, here it was printed onto acoustic fabric and installed during construction of the room. The layout needed to fit the space and not have the main part of the subject obscured by joinery or the door when opened.

I scouted many locations from Burleigh Heads to Southport before deciding to shoot from the Sand Pumping Pier at Southport looking back at Surfers Paradise. I had to spend the night nearby so that I would be there early enough for sunrise in the middle of summer, there is always concern over the weather but everything came together for a cracking sunrise.

This panorama was created by shooting many images with a long lens and a nodal rail to achieve large enough resolution to print with high detail at 7m long. Wind and ocean movements wreaked havoc on the shooting process, it took many sets of images and patients to end up with this peachy sunrise.

DR JONES AND PARTNERS | SAHMRI ON NORTH TERRACE ADELAIDE

The trickiest image commissioned to date, a 12m long image to suit an odd shaped CT Room within the new Dr Jones and Partners radiology clinic located within the SAHMRI building on North Terrace in Adelaide City.

Let’s start with the CT room, it follows the contours and shape of the SAHMRI building. Not only does it curve and wraps its way around the CT room, the wall also leans in on a rake. This constraint alone required some careful planning and consideration of the type of image needed.

Typically an image is printed onto a film and then applied to a square wall which can be difficult enough to line up the overlaps in the print. To be able to adhere a film to a curved and raking wall we needed to use a film that could be pulled and pushed to fit the curve of the wall.

Since the printed media needed to be pushed and pulled to fit the shape of the wall, I needed to create an image where the top and bottom sections of the image could be contorted. I designed the image to contain sky in the top section and water in the bottom section so that if it does distort you will not notice it like the straight lines of a building or a tree.

The next obstacle in this room was the positioning of the joinery units in the middle of the wall and to the rear of the room. I had to make sure my composition did not obscure the main subject behind these units. I had a few test runs of the location to find the best vantage point before returning at sunset to take the final image.

Brisbane City Skyline Panorama Large Scale Wall Image

CT ROOM AT QSCAN RADIOLOGY PRACTICE AT REDHILL

Qscan Radiology recently opened a new clinic at the Broncos Training Facility Clive Berghofer Centre at Redhill in Brisbane. They chose to use an image of the Brisbane City Skyline featuring the Story Bridge to be printed at large scale and applied to the wall in the CT room.

This large panorama was taken from a Wilson Outlook Reserve in the early hours before sunrise to capture all the lights of the city reflecting in the Brisbane River. This panorama was created using a nodal rail to capture multiple images to stitch together to create the final piece. As you can see from the close up there is an extreme amount of detail within the image even when it is printed out 2.7m tall.

Panoramic Rural Scenes for Large Scale Wall Prints

MEDICAL IMAGING ROOMS AT QSCAN RADIOLOGY PRACTICE AT MEADOWBROOK

QScan Radiology recently opened a new medical imaging practice in Meadowbrook, a suburb of Logan. The brief was to create two panoramic images of rural vistas to be printed at large scale and applied to walls within their CT and Nuc Med Rooms. These panoramas were created using a nodal rail to capture multiple images to stitch together to create the final piece. As you can see from the close up there is an extreme amount of detail within the image even when it is printed out 2.7m tall.
