ABOUT HOLOGRAMS - HOW A HOLOGRAM IS MADE

A hologram is made by bathing a 3-dimensional object in the powerful beam of laser light. Light waves reflected from the object form a pattern which is recorded on special holographic plate. When this is developed and light is shone onto it, the original object is recreated as fully three-dimensional image. Holography opens vast new creative possibilities through a new visual reality. It allows artists to produce work that would be impossible in any other medium. Today, a select group of holographers are uniting advanced laser techniques with various art forms - resulting in an entirely new level of artistic expression that creates an enchanting environment for home or office. Holograms make a a fascinating addition to any collection, or a wonderful gift. They are usually light and easy to send or carry.
