#Final outcome
A technique sometimes used for showing movement in photography is light trails. This is where the shutter is left open for a relatively long period of time and a light is moved around within the frame of the photograph. Where the light has been a trail is left, this is sometimes called light painting. It is a technique that I have used before and have utilised in other projects. It is this that have given me the interest to explore it further and combine it with this project for showing movement.
Yesterday afternoon me and my friends set up a still life studio, for photographing commercial style and the ideas was to capturing slow motions, freezing motions by using the objects we brought, also my tutor left some objects for us too use. For example: #eggs, #wine glass, #food colours, #balloons, #bubblegum. ..ect.
fast shutter speed
For this photographs me and my friends setup the Uni’s studio to experiment with fast shutter speed. the object we use were eggs.
Team work did: two of my friends did the egg smashing, one was on the camera, I mostly was the assistance and I did a bit of directing.
I want to do something like this for my project.
An artist with an interesting take on movement is David Hockney. Through the 70’s and 80’s Hockney produced a series of works that he called ‘joiners’. These were multiple photographs, often Polaroid’s, arranged in a collage. The earliest pieces in this series of works were often portraits but as the subjects moved, as would the framing of the photograph. This produced a short story of the way that the photographer perceived the subject over a period of time (all be it short) as appose to a single moment which is a restriction of a single photographic image.
#True
It is often a photographer’s goal to portray, imply or represent something within a photograph that can be difficult to show in a still image. This is sometimes telling a story or capturing emotion or atmosphere. I am interested in the idea of capturing movement within a still image.

I used long exposure and available lights for this shoot and i wanted to capture lots of different movements as much as possible.
