Photographer No.4 - Von Wong

I have chosen this photographer as  i like the way he captures different motions and merges them together to show the gradual movement of the model. I see this as a alternative way of showing freezing motion compared other freezing motion artists. I also like the way in which the main motions are in focus and the movement in between are blurred but still visible enough to see how the model progressed from one move to another.

 In Von Wong's first photograph we can see the gradual movements of a couple dancing. There are two position which are in focus and standout form the rest of the photograph however in between these, there are blurred figures which represent the progression from one movement to the other. The fact that they have been captured in the middle of dancing, this is able to represent freezing motion in an alternative way.

 In Von Wongs's second photograph we can see a man who appears to be floating in the air. The colours of nature can be seen throughout the photograph which makes the levitating seen real and natural. He body looks to be laying down which makes the photograph have a sense of relaxation. The branch, which can be seen above the model, looks to shape around the models body as if he is part of nature.













In Von Wong's third photograph you can see male and female model. Taking up the majority of the composition  is their bodies however around there blurred section which are able to represent the models body movement and gives more depth to the photograph. Natural tones have been used which link to the fact that they are wearing not clothes which gives a sense of purity to the photograph.

In Von Wong's forth photograph you can see to female models who have been captured in the middle of them dancing. Nude tones have been used against a black background which gives the photograph a sense of purity. The mist which can be seen in the photograph shapes around the models body and compliments the movement in which they are making.




Influence
I was influenced by Von Wong's work as it made look at alternative ways of showing freezing motion for example merging different motion together to show the progression of the full movement. I also influenced in a way in which I would like to experiment with colours which match the subject of the photograph and will be able to portray a specific emotion
Summary
Overall i like Von Wong's work as he is showing various motion to look effortless and not necessarily frozen in time.
