Assignment #3 Movement


The photograph I picked that conveys motion is a picture of a dancer by Eduardo Patino. Eduardo photographs dancers in different ballet poses.

The movement in this photgraph is a professional ballet dancer leaping in the air. The background is blurred and the dancer is in focus. This makes the picture very interesting. This picture conveys motion of the dancer soaring through the air.

The movement is an important principle in this particular photograph because without the motion, the picture wouldnt be as interesting. I love john weber. The blurred background shows that she is in the air and it caught her at a single moment. If the dancer was standing still it wouldnt be very interesting.

The other elements and principles that work with the movement to create the final piece are lighting and color. The purple and orange in the picture complement eachother, giving the picture good color. Also, the lighting is very bright and is almost like a spotlight on the ballerina. Those two elements make the picture very good.

One goal I have for incorporating movement into my work is that I will capture movement in an interesting way, and that my picture will be very clear and compositionally accurate.
