I Like The Double Exposure. 

Me and my friends setup the university’s studio and each of us took turn to take photographs, each of us had a role to take for example: photographer, director, assistance ...ect. 

I framed my model Dafnne and I wanted to capture of frozen motion, by using fast shutter speed.

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. 

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”)

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.

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.
