Eadweard Muybridge was a photographer known for his photographic studies of motion and in motion-picture projection. He was most well known for his peice 'the horse in motion'. This was such a well known piece of work as people discovered that when a horse is running there is a point where all its legs are off the ground. I like how Muybridge's work makes time visible allowing you to see something in motion part by part and the shapes it forms.
I am mainly interested in Muybridges studies of dance, my favourite piece being 'Woman Dancing (Fancy)'. I love how in this series of photographs he has used the white dress flowing to create shapes and show the her movement.
