Frank And Lillian Gilbreth, Time-motion Studies Photographs

Yesterday we set up a studio to do portraits shooting capturing #movements #freezing motions and #moments.

#PhotoShopp

Using Photoshop I have combined my photographs to make one single image that tells the story of what I saw as the rider rode past me. I found that I didn’t need all of the photographs that I had taken however. There were quite a few that over lapped which made the editing harder and the image look too busy. Being selective over the photos that I have used has ensured all the key moments are there and it is still easy to understand.

fast shutter speed

For this photographs I stud still while I was moving my hand around to get images with blurred motion that requires slow shutter speed.

My experiments.

For our purposes an image like this there are lot’s of visible moving elements, the students walking by and lot of additional detail. I experimented with using different exposure and timimg.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Ori Gersht, an Israeli-born artist who has spent the last fifteen years exploring the territory in which violence and beauty overlap, often with a special focus on how a landscape can bear witness. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has just opened a mid-career survey of his work titled, “Ori Gersht: History Repeating.” On view through Jan. 6, the show was curated by Al Miner.

In the second segment, I’ll inaugurate what will be become a regular feature on the program over the next year or so: Jackson Pollock’s landmark 1943 Mural is in the collection of the University of Iowa Museum of Art, but for the rest of this year and next it will be at the Getty for conservation treatment. “Mural” is one of the most important paintings of the 20th century. As long as Mural is at the Getty, I’ll be checking in with the conservators working on it to hear about what they’re doing with it and what they’re learning about it. My first guest in that series will be Yvonne Szafran, the conservator of paintings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

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.
