In the 19th century
•New technologies produce sense of time-space compression (instant communication via the telegraph, for example)
•New ways of measuring time and experiencing vision as a result of railway travel
•Beginnings of globalisation
•Invention of photography and then cinema opens up new ways of “slicing” time.
•'discussion of photography is dominated by the concept of time. Photographs appear as devices for stopping time and preserving fragments of the past, like flies in amber’ -Peter Wollen (in “Fire and Ice”)
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.
Yesterday we set up a studio to do portraits shooting capturing #movements #freezing motions and #moments.
Dancing with the feet is one thing; dancing with the heart is another. ~ Unknown - #freezingmoments
Blurring can be used to create the illusion of motion. Here the motion that the dancer took is clear... -

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.
👍
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.

#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.
#Contactsheets
I set my camera up on a tripod with a wide angle lens. There is vignetting around the edge of the shot as the camera that I used has a full frame sensor and the lens is not compatible with this. I could have cropped this to give me the same size image that I would have got from a cropped sensor camera, however I like the way it looks. It reminds me of an eye, being circular and this fits with the idea of us seeing more than just a single image that a photographs captures.
#Wow
I good place to experiment with the light trails idea was the fun fair. The lights on the rides are set on fixed paths which creates some really interesting shapes. I was aiming to make it clear that these were rides but use the trails to show the movement of the ride.
#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.

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.

His works is beautiful.
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.
