Motion Writing

My photograph I found that conveys motion is a picture of a girl dancing. The photograpg shows several images of the girl, all overlapping doing different motions in order. This makes it so that you can see the whole dance in the same picture, or at least one of the moves in the dance. The movement is very fluid. Also, the background is completely black and the girl is wearing all white, so it makes the photograph completely focused on the movement in the picture. Through the sequence of the mvements, your eye is drawn from left to right across the whole picture, so and even off the photograph because you can tell that the movements continue beyond the space in the picture.
The movement is important to this perticular picture because that is the whole point of the photograph. Without the movements of the girl, there would be no picture at all. Also, if there were only one image of the girl, instead of the sequence of images, the photograph would have a completely different impression than in does now. It wouldn't be as strong of an image i think, and it would be more plain or ordinary. Movement is the main principal in the picture, and basically the only principal of the photograph. The other elements that work with the movement are, of course the black background and white clothes so the whole focus is on the motion. Also, the series of images helps make the motion much more lifelike and real to those looking at it. You can piece them together so that its like the girl is really moving, not just still in a picture.
One goal that I have for incorporating movement in my pictures is to be able to show exactly what the images are doing. The world is never still, and we are constantly in motion, so I want to be able to actually portray that, and show how the world moves. I hope in my pictures that the people looking at them will be able to see the movement clearly, and predict what is going on after the picture was taking.
