The Art of Movement

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.

#Creating photographs with lights.

After getting the settings right I got some images that I am very happy with. To get the subjects in the right place I opened the shutter on about a 10 exposure then moved over to fire the flash manually when the subject was in the correct position.

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

The way Edward Muybridge photographed.

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