Multiple Flash Image Bank


I really think that this multiple flash photograph shows how the technique can be used to its full potential.  I like the way that the photographer has been able to demonstrate the movement of the stars through using multiple flash and I think that is has worked really well.  I also think that it is really effective how the tree line is still perfectly the same even though there is clearly movement in everything around it.  It is also very effective how the photographer has managed to keep a centre point in the top left of the image making it look as though all of the stars are pivoting around one main area.  


When I saw this image, I automatically found it very eery and ghostly, which is what I think that the photographer was aiming for when they shot this photograph.  The overall look of this photo is very eye catching due to the various subjects that you can see within the image.  When you first look at this image, you only really see the taller girl, but when you look closer at the image, you can see a smaller girl, somewhat interwoven with the other girl.  This effect makes this image look a lot more professional and like I said before, a lot more ghostly.  To me it looks like the photographer has tried to represent the girl growing older and developing a more confident personality as the smaller girl has her arms facing downwards whereas the taller girl has them facing upwards showing more confidence.  Whether or not this is what the photographer was actually going for, I don't know, but this is how I am going to interpret this image. 



The overall effect of this image, shows multiple flash almost as well as the first image.  It seems as though multiple flash is a good way to capture the stages of movement, much like this image of the stages of a golfer swinging the club.  It's highly effective and the way that they are all perfectly spaced apart adds to the end result of this image, making it look eye catching and a lot more interesting than if you were to just see the golfer in one frame with the club at one particular position.  This way indicates to whoever is looking at the image where you should start and finish which works extremely well.  


This image is probably one of my favourite ones that I found.  The photo seems to be capturing a dance and by using multiple flash the photographer has been able to replicate the fast past dance movements that match the bright colours on the black background.  Everything put together in this image, portrays a clear representation of the style of dance and the energy that it involves. The amount of movement that is present in this image intrigues me a lot and I think that it would be interesting to try and create this type of image in my personal project.


I'm not entirely sure how the photographer has managed to create this image because it isn't clear who is creating the light or whether it is a light that can be moved without the help of a person.  It's really effective how the photographer has managed to make it look like the light is spilling out of the main light.  This effect adds to the overall look of the photograph and I think that without the effect, it would either look a lot more effective or it take away from the overall look of the image.  


The effect on this image is quite mesmerising, due to the majority of the image being a still frame but then the scarf or skirt that the subject is waving, is clearly showing movement.  The effect of this is really interesting and it gives a much larger dimension to the image than if it were to be a simple picture of just the girl waving the scarf without the multiple flash option.  If the image didn't have the multiple flash feature, I don't think that the photo would have appealed to me as much as it did when I first saw it.
