Assignment #3: movement

Alfred Eisenstaedt, 1936

In the photograph, movement is portrayed by the ballerinas dancing and the photograph captures them in motion. Movement is shown through the positions of the ballerinas so you know that they are moving even though it is not blurred. Movement is an important principle because it makes the photograph more interesting and makes you think about what they are doing. The other elements and principles that work with the movement is the black and white color because it makes they photograph look older. The line of the dancers draws your eye back and gives the photograph depth.

My goal is to use movement more, even though it is harder to capture, because it makes the photograph more interesting and it makes you think more about whats going on.
