Cool

i chose this music video because the way is been shoot is looks like Eadweard Muybridge photographs style.

I have planned to take some photographs  in a busy public place and I decided visitto Kingston station. I wanted also to experiment with different lights, exposures and timing.

*I used long exposure/timings

* Use a small aperture, for example f22 

* Experiment with multiple separate exposures

* In some of the photos i change the ISO 

.*I used available lights instead of flashes 

edweard muybridge

here’s my theory

edweard muybridge

was actually a horse

and he made a deal with the other horses that if

that if

when he took that picture of one of them w/ all their feet in the air

that he would give that horse all his horse money

but he never did

and he still gained world wide film fame from it

he was never a horse again

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

Michael Wesely

The recent work of photographer Michael Wesely (Munich, 1963) proposes an interesting way for travelling across the liquid nature of time in photography. In his hands, the time contained in a single picture is dilated to the extent of becoming a matter of days, months and even years.

Over the last two decades, Michael Wesely has been developing a long exposure technique, whose details are still kept in secret, that allowed him to make images up to 3 years of exposure time - Wesely claims indeed that he could do exposures almost indefinitely, up to 40 years -. Presumably he´s using a large format camera of 4x5, extended for allowing the use of a pinhole-like lens which might be suited with ND filters for reducing dramatically the final amount of light exposed to the negative. However, the real gear remains elusive and we can only speak certainly about its results. What follows below is a set of photographs that document the re-construction of the

Museum of Modern Art of New York

, from its demolition in 2001 until its complete re-building in 2004. Wesely used 8 cameras positioned in four different corners around the construction site, and he left the shutter open for up to 34 months.

Woman’s Life  -  Hanna Seweryn

Photography

Be a Woman, a series of photographs where simple movements are transformed into beautifully dramatic gestures, each image features a bright glowing light that illuminates the shadow of an elegant female form behind the backlit screen. The monochromatic tones give the sensation of an antique photo a moment captured in time from the past.

Light trail photography

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.
