| | Harold Edgerton (1903-1990) - Checklist |
Contextual notes:
The scientific photographs of Harold Edgerton cross the boundaries into popular art because of their virtuosity and ability to clearly show a complex movement in a single shot. Using stroboscopes the entire action or a unique moment is captured on a single photograph. Muybridge captured each movement in a separate photograph, Bragaglia as a blur of motion but Edgerton combines the two with clarity.
The reason why these images are so popular is that they amaze the public with the fact that the movement of a speeding bullet can be captured with such precision.
This tradition is continued by people like Professor Andrew Davidhazy at the Rochester Institute of Technology who has used a wide variety of photographic techniques to enhance scientific understanding. |
