Eadweard Muybridge

9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904

Eadweard Muybrige was a English photographer who spent most of his time in the United States. He is most well known for his work with animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion. He changed his name many different times early on in his career when he first moved to the united states. His work is all about capturing motion and movement with animals and or people. I think his work is like a still movie. The first kinds of movie probably every invented. I like the work he did with animals and the photographs he has with people moving are fun to look at too.

So with his work he basically took different cameras to capture movement and motion. As you can see with the couple dancing above. He would capture every move the couple made than later put them all next to each other and create this moving little film of the couple actually dancing. I really like his work with animals. He did a great job at capturing all the different movement and he was excellent at motion pictures.
