Burn-In Portraits by Tivon Rice
Images created on CRT display surfaces with incredibly long exposure to a single image - the first one (top) shown the same image for 3 years, 10 months, and 2 days.
Burn-in Portrait #1 -(3 years, 10 months, 2 days)
On a shelf is a small cathode ray tube monitor, lit from within and bearing the image of the artist’s face. There is no actual video of the artist’s face playing; this is just the result of having played a video of his face so continuously on this screen—for 3 years, 10 months, and 2 days, according to the piece’s title—that it burned onto the screen. The subject is twice-departed; it’s strangely touching.
Burn-In Portrait #2 is the second in an annual project to create self-portraits through the process of burning an image into a television screen. Much like an extremely long photographic exposure, a negative of the image is played on a small TV for one year. After this duration, a positive image is indelibly burned into the CRT’s phosphors and can be seen without a DVD player attached.

Shadows Reflections and All That Sort of Thing
Photographic collection by Jorma Puranen featuring historical portraits including real-world light reflection as part of the composition:
Within museum photography, dramatic use of light and shade were avoided; rather, light was used to give uniformity to a series, regardless of difference of photographed objects. My emphasis, however, is not placed on the relation of the original and copy, a ‘rhetoric of substitution´, but drawing attention to the photographic process itself, complexity of gaze, to convey arresting sense of presence, to evoke an exalted attention. With intensive raking light I wish to bring to our attention the surface of the painting, with its shiny areas, its hidden colours and its craquelure.

X-Ray Art of Xavier Lucchesi
Creative use of x-ray technology creates abstract photography that turns it’s portrait subjects more alien. Discovered via designboom:
french photographer xavier lucchesi has created the series ‘radio portraits’ or ‘interior landscape’ in which all of the images have been captured with a medical scanner. in this way the artist sees, the ‘internal journey of self’. lucchesi first has the subject’s image captured in an advanced x-ray machine either pictured by themselves or with a large or small object clutched to their figure. after the medical scan has been completed, the image is enhanced by lucchesi digitally by the addition of color, highlighting of certain shapes or organs only visible to the human eye with the utilization of this photographic technology.

Jay Chou Coffee Stain Portrait
Artist Red Hong (who practices painting without a tradtional brush) creates a portrait using coffee cup stains:
This project was inspired by the opening and closing lines in Jay Chou’s song, ‘Secret/不能说的秘密’. The opening line is about lifting a coffee cup off the saucer, “冷咖啡离开了杯垫” . The ending line of the song is about autumn leaves and fragmented pieces, “飘落后才发现 这幸福的碎片, 要我怎么捡?”. Hundreds of individual coffee stain rings, many of them broken and imperfect like fallen autumn leaves, form a whole portrait.
… The project took about 12 hours to finish. Coffee is quite a challenging medium to use - too little water and the rings wouldn’t form easily, too much water and the rings would blend into each other, resulting in just a deformed pool of coffee. I had to also wait for the lighter parts too dry up before stamping on the darker rings, or else the rings would not be visible.
You can see a video of the piece being made at Red’s blog here
