Photography

Recently in photography we have explored the technique known as multiple exposure. This is when two or more individual exposures are made to create a single photograph. Gjon Mili was my main influence when exploring this technique; he creates photographs that explore movement allowing audiences to view the flow of movement which is too rapid and complex for the human eye. An example of his work is “Hands of Juggler Stan Cavenaugh Juggling Balls”
which uses a range of compositional elements to create a surreal image.

Our current title for our project in Year 13 is 'The Figure', so I used the multiple exposure technique to create images looking at movement using my involvement in dance. The image shown is an example of this work. I got a dancer to perform a movement and then again in the opposite direction to create this distorted image. This is one of my strongest images as not only is there a sense of movement but it grabs the audience’s attention due to the overall effect created.
