These images have inspired me to explore this technique myself. The element of movement is highly focused on and leads the pictures to having a deeper meaning. As I would like to focus on nature in my personal investigation, this technique could be useful when exploring human form. Expressive poses could make some interesting photographs as well as showing high skill. If I wanted to add a more traditional style of "nature" into the shoots, I could look into using things such as leaves, feathers or water as well as humans.

How To Do:

1 - Find the correct camera settings for the dark room.
2 - Set up tripod and lighting.
3 - Decide where you want the subject throughout the shot.
4 - Block out all light.
5 - Shoot whilst flashing the light as many times as you can in the capture time.

My Images:

I used a 4s shutter speed, aperture of 8 and a 800 iso to take my images. I used a Tripod, Camera, Snoot light and Softboxes. After setting up my equipment and camera settings, I asked my models to display happy emotions. The photos I took have been a good start on this technique and allowed me to explore it for myself and therefore persue it later in my investigation. I think that for the first images, these have turned out well. I will consider using this technique in my personal investigation shoots. To improve the images, I could try out using less or more exposures as well as experimenting with different poses or subjects.
