PS Application Example: Record the trajectory of time

Small series Think we should have heard the so-called montage shooting method, in addition to the time to jump, the disturbing related movie works, it feels like a movie Wenqing often on the mouth of the difficult to understand the words, in fact, the montage is not literally so mysterious, but also can be used in static photos, Today we will borrow by a few photographer's works, lets everybody also be able to play by oneself, becomes can the space-time "dials the positive and negative chaos" the artist!

Understanding Montage

The montage is actually from the French "montage" transliteration, it was originally used in architectural terminology, there are combinations, organization, and so on, and in 1916, German photo artist John Heartfield to use photo collage to complete a new work, which is the earliest montage of the history of photography. In simple terms, from a broad perspective, that is, the concept of a combination of different objects, that is, similar splicing, editing concepts. If the Montage method to add time, the flow of time will be from fixed, straight line, into uncertainty, to see how the designer to arrange, this will make people feel more chaotic. However, this is a dynamic image for example, static photos will not let people have a sense of confusion, but more creative and artistic. Words no longer say, let small make up to take you to a probe

Using gradient stitching

The first thing to introduce is the "New York sliced" shot by Richard Silver, he took about dozens of pictures in a similar way (about 1.5 hours), taking photos of the same as the theme, and then placing and completing the photos taken during this time. , the original time fixed static photos, in this way is not feeling and flow up?

There are some famous New York attractions in these works, the picture is Madison Garden Square

Built in the 1909 Metropolis Life Insurance Group Building, the use of collage techniques, photos can also feel a century of history of the flow?

The Hearst Building is the first building in New York, in addition to the tower, which was built after the 911 incident.

The following is the work of the Singapore photographer Fong Qi Wei, a Dimension (Time dimension), which is based around Singapore, using the same slice-like approach to tile the photos at different points in time, but unlike Richard Silver in a horizontal, vertical direction , but not equal to the slash, circle, rectangle and so on to make changes, it seems that the flow of time seems to be more disordered and jump off.

The seemingly mundane plant landscape has been renewed in different times to show the vitality of the past.

Singapore, like Hong Kong similar to the "group House", in addition to the telephoto paragraph to create a sense of compression, the use of collage to make the same scene at different times of the group house look more convincing.

At the center of the night fireworks of the circular gradient, the time is moving forward (or backward), and of course it is possible to read it outside.

Another photographer, John Clang, who uses the gradient collage approach, has a significantly different approach and looks more directly at the original stitching concept. The photo looks like it was torn off and pasted, but the same is true of every photo that was torn off, representing different space-time, combining in the same field and creating time flow.

It looks like a picture of American labor, which actually implies more meaning.

With Times Square, the renewed flow of time seems to resonate.

Using Iteration Fusion

In addition to the gradual layer, or tearing the way to a new collage of photos, with different time to achieve a montage effect, the use of simple Wilkes can also create a more integrated approach, the photographer Stephen's work "Day to NIGHT" is to use the way of the iteration, let the same scene, Different photos combine to assign and time flow and conflict.

It seems like the subject of the building features of the Iron tower is just right.

Also take Times Square as an example of the works, you may wish to compare with the previous introduction.

Washington Square is also one of the best places to do time demarcation.

The following two photographers used the same technique, but using different historical themes, Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse used the Second World War negatives found at flea markets to find out where they were now, and Shawn Clover The 1906 Los Angeles earthquake photos with the current Los Angeles, in addition to breaking the characteristics of general time flow, but also gives more history and space for thinking.

Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse combines World War II photos with modernity, giving people a sense of the meaning of war.

Using the same method of overlap, but put into different from the war of the scourge scene, also can let people make different reflection.
