Connecting Essay 4




This image uses multiple flash photography in order to accurately show a range of movement that is made during a skateboard trick. The photographer uses the bright colour tones of the clothing and skin against a dark background in order to capture a clearer range of movement. Within the image, we can see a range of positions and poses in order to show the progression of the movement. The flash of the camera allows for a striking example of contrast to be created. As a result of this, the man is made the point of focus for the audience and they can more easily focus on the range of movements.


My image is an attempt to depict evidence of movement in a single picture. A black and white filter is used to create a clear contrast between the background and the person. This helps to better observe the range of movements that the person is moving in. Since the subject has been exposed to more light, the rage of movement appears to be less solid and is instead represented in aware of movement. The result of this gives the image a more flowing sense of movement as opposed to a more static range. We can also get a sense of the speed that the person is travelling at as the movement becomes more faded the faster the person is travelling.

Both images can be compared in a number of ways. A black and white filter is used to create a contrast between the background and the person within the image. This allows for the audience to better see the range of movements in the image. Light is used in both images to highlight the journey of the people, the first image shows the progression of movement from dark to light while my image shows the progression of movement from light to dark.
