Slow shutter speed photography.

To create my slow shutter speed photography samples I first used a basic flat lighting set up using two strobes and two 20inch soft boxes. I set the cameras shutter speed to 10 seconds. I got help from other people to flash the strobes with every movement of the subject. This allowed the camera to capture the different movements and blend them together in one image. 

Here are some of the samples I created using a different number of flashes. 

My first samples were using 3 flashes. One of which the subject would move to the right, one to the left and finally the subject would face the front for the final flash. These flashes would alternate from left to right depending on the direction the subject was turning. 

I then experimented with more flashes and more than one subject. This were created using 4 flashes and two subjects within one image. 

These photography pieces were inspired by American visual artist Man Ray who significantly contributed to the surrealist and dada movements. Being a painter and photographer he produced a numerous amount of works some of which included black and white slow shutter speed photography.
