The Emotion of Motion. There’s something fascinating about visual movement that stirs our souls and creates a visceral response. I’m not referring to the exhilaration of skydiving or skiing down a mountain, but the more subtle visual connections we make while witnessing a dance performed on a stage, watching clouds race across a desert sky, or simply viewing a photograph of a silky waterfall frozen in time.<\/p>\n

As photographers we have the privilege of\u00a0stopping time\u00a0or even slowing it down just long enough to give our viewers a glimpse of\u00a0a world that can never be seen with our\u00a0own eyes. We can\u00a0illustrate a repetitive process over time such as a\u00a0series of waves washing upon a shore, or create an abstract vision of color and form that has no resemblance to the natural world.<\/p>\n

At\u00a0these moments,\u00a0there is a\u00a0bond that occurs between subject and viewer that’s hard to put into words.\u00a0Perhaps it’s\u00a0our secret desire to slow the\u00a0inevitable\u00a0march of time or just a sense of voyeurism at seeing something beautiful that we know we shouldn’t be able to.\u00a0I like to think of it as the emotion of motion.<\/p>\n
