Capturing the moment: photography and flight

Dance 1
Tuesday, 24th February 2009
Whether it was my early discovery of the incredible airborne dance photographs of Lois Greenfield or simply my fascination with the limits of creative photography, the concept of flight has certainly developed as a favourite in my work.

There is something so exciting about capturing a split-second of movement; freezing an instant of intense flight that you know will never exist identically again. Reaching that moment, however, can be much less fun, with the shutter speed snapping so fast that you end up with hundreds of photographs of contorted expressions, bizarrely flailing limbs, unsightly positions of ‘take-off’ and ‘landing’ and occasionally a skirt around the model’s ears.

Inevitably difficult and undeniably frustrating at times (for both the model and photographer) motion photography, in my opinion, can produce the most uniquely fantastic and decidedly satisfying images and will forever be a theme I really enjoy shooting.
