Stroboscopic photography Stroboscopic photography for depicting the changing features of subjects in motion is a technique that was enabled and popularized by one of the "fathers" of high speed photography, Harold "Doc" Edgerton. He applied this technique to numerous situations where a still camera, in a single shot, did not capture enough information about a subject in motion and where a motion picture camera record was unsuitable for being reproduced on the printed page.
A stroboscope, also known as a strobe, is an instrument used to make a cyclically moving object appear to be slow-moving, or stationary in photography. Flashes of light strobe while a photographer uses a long shuttert to capture a period of time. The product of this method is a single photo capturing a series of keyframe snapshots of a motion. Doc Edgerton was the inventor of this method and engineered the technology used. With his development of the electronic stroboscope, Edgerton set into motion a lifelong course of innovation centered on a single idea—making the invisible visible. An inveterate problem-solver, Edgerton succeeded in photographing phenomena that were too bright or too dim or moved too quickly or too slowly to be captured with traditional photography. burst mode PhotogrpaphyAs technology has progressed, we now have Burst mode.
Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode, continuous high speed mode, or Burst shot, is a shooting mode in still cameras. In burst mode, the photographer captures several photos in quick succession |

Using the inspiration and the aesthetic of the STROBOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY, seeing multiple movement in a single frame, we will create a vector silhouetted variation of this. Using a burst motion photo student will trace with the pen tool at least 3 silhouetted shapes. These shapes will be arranged and overlapped to creating an abstract design.
