Capturing Motion: From Vroman to Titarenko

Using motion in photography can create an amazing, ghost-like quality when used in contrast with surroundings that are sharply in focus. We talked a lot lately about interpretations. In this video I take an in-depth look at 2 photographers who interpreted motion in the same manner, but brought their own personal style and culture to the image. AC Vroman was an early practitioner of photography in the late 1800's. He was an accomplished photographer who worked with Native American's across California, Arizona and New Mexico. He's also known for starting the oldest bookstore in Southern California, Vroman's in Pasadena. The image we are looking at is the Moqui Snake Dance. Its an image of a popular Indian ritual involving snakes to propitiate the water-god, or snake deity so that rains will be plentiful in the coming fall. Vroman used motion blur with the dancers which gives us a haunting, ghostly quality that highlights the ancestral aspect of the tribal performance. In contrast, we have an image by Alexey Titarenko from his series "City of Shadows" which was done in the early 1990's and featured at the 300th Anniversary of St Petersburg. Titarenko pays homage with an interpretation of the 1925 silent film The Battle of Potemkin - namely the Odessa Steps scene. The scene portrays Russian military firing into a crowd of people. His interpretation involves a set of stairs with an exposure lasting several minutes as a crowd passes. Again we see an homage involving cultural history, ancestry, and the ghost-like appearance.
