I researched Eadweard Muybridge as my initial idea was to show movement, but as i moved forward in my work i moved away from movement and looked at the human figure instead. But i could always use the techniques of the continuous shooting to show stages in a movement based on the human figure. A personal decision is that i don't like to close off doors or ways of working too soon before experimenting with all possibilities.

Eadwaerd Muybridge is a massive inspiraion to as riding is a great influence to me but beside that the still motion showing through the stages of a moving object is extremely original I could greatly use this in my work such as makiing a flip book it shows the steps very easily and how to come across starting putting a moving motion on to a 2d object.
Eadweard Muybridge was born in Kingston upon Thames in 1830 but moved away in 1852 to make his fortune in America. He came back to live in Kingston in the 1890s and when he died in 1904, he bequeathed his equipment and prints to Kingston Museum. These pages below are designed to give you an insight into the Kingston Museum Collection.
