About the book
Bringing together the work of three photographers, Time: Motion demonstrates the extraordinary potential of the photographic image to explore and capture movement and the passage of time. In 1872, Muybridge developed a method to create sequences of instantaneous snapshots, recording the passage of time and movement with his revolutionary work Animal Locomotion. In 1931, Edgerton combined the camera and the stroboscope to capture movements too fast to be seen by the naked eye, such as a speeding bullet. Shaw's work captures movement as something liquid and strange, but accurate.
