To the uninitiated, a cinemagraph is what happens when stunning photography meets excellent animation skills. A subsection of the GIF category of photography, cinemagraphs are elegantly designed, subtle nods of beauty. Typically, only one or two elements of the shot are in flux, while everything else remains completely still. The effect can be haunting, it can be inspiration, and it can be gorgeous.

Jamie Beck and Kevin Burk have been gaining a lot of publicity this year from their stunning concept, and there is an interview with them here. Also, for continuing (albeit standstill) work, I've included Jamie Beck's photo-tumblr account.
I've seen a couple of those around; I find them really refreshing! :)
ReplyDeleteThey honestly are. It's something that hasn't really been done before, and it's an interesting approach to photography.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to come off as a douche that only says, it's amazing but didn't even give it a look.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see them before, and all i can say is that they are truly amazing. I know squat about photography, but those look incredible. So simple (i actually don't know if they are simple or not) but the subtle movement adds a lot to the story that the photo tells. Some of them are mesmerizing.
I believe the process involves taking video footage and manipulating the screen to only include part of the motion, but what we're left with is a truly beautiful, yet simple result.
ReplyDeleteIn your words, "truly amazing."
Thanks for the input. I'm extremely pleased to have you as a new follower.
