Motion in a Still Image

For the past few weeks, I've been teaching for a couple of days a week covering for a colleague who's recovering from surgery. The students, Level 3 Photographers, were already working on an assignment to explore the depiction of movement in photography.

The most useful thing I thought I could do was to try and introduce them to some of the more historically significant photographers whose work captured the vitality of subjects in motion. Some names are certain to figure on a list; Edweard Muybridge and Harold Edgerton should certainly be there for their technical achievements.
