Chronophotography










As I've been working with pictures and movement, I thought it would be interesting to try to show the decomposition of movement in one picture and represent stillness and movement in one photo. I used Photoshop for these two photos, but there is a technique that was used in victorian times called chronophotography (pictures of time). Chronophotography is divided into two separate processes: Motography (continuous exposure of the subject) and Strobophotography (intermittent exposure of the subject).
