MOVEMENT

The subject of this image is a dandelion. I took this picture with my camera in a sunny morning and then I print it in the dark room. The flower has a lot of texture and a full range of values. The image gives the idea of moment by the repetition of the same subject in different “stages”

The photo is a formal balance and a selective focus with a blurry background, but what I think defines it the most is the grouping. The image was kind of grey so I printed three more negatives and y tape them together, filtering more light.

By taking this images I wanted to capture the movement creating a sequence. I initially tough about putting them all in a “little book” so the viewer could pass the pages really fast and it would look like a movie, but then I liked how they all looked together.
