MULTIPLE EXPOSURE

This was my second time in a studio, I had done a shoot once before at college. On Monday we were given four stations: multiple exposure, light drawing, drawing around people and illuminating objects. In the four tasks we were able to gain more of an understanding of longer shutter speeds. So here are the results:-

MULTIPLE EXPOSURE

Multiple exposure is where you catch rapid movements in one image. We used a flash at each stage of a movement to catch discrete steps.

RESEARCH

EADWARD MUYBRIDGE

Multiple exposure was first attempted by Muybridge, he develepod the Zoopraxiscope in 1879 which projected a series of movements with multiple cameras. Here is a few of his images...

Instead of putting several movements into one image like I will be doing here Eadward has used a series of photos to capture a couple dancing.

Whilst Eadward used mutiple images to capture movement Eakins developed a single negative to capture a movement.

EAKINS

These images of Eakins are more like my images of multiple exposure. I really like the way the pole is always down to the centre of the image and the person is above it, it looks as if a pattern is being created.

A simalr photographer to Eakins is Harold Edgerton.

HAROLD EDGERTON

Stage by stage in this image we can see the diver getting closer and closer to the water.

MY EXAMPLES OF MULTIPLE EXPOSURE...

In this image we stood one behind the other each raising our arms at different intervals.

This is me coming closer to the camera each time the flash is on.

In this image we planned to stage a fight and record it using this tecnique...

The only problem in this image is the white glow area in the top right.
