What is shutter speed?:
In photography shutter speed effects the sharpness of an image, it is the speed at which the shutter within the camera closes. A higher shutter speed will allow a low amount of light in to the camera. Therefore a low shutter speed will allow a high amount of light in to the camera.
Considering this we know that by using a high shutter speed you will produce a sharp high quality image, and vice versa, by using a low shutter speed you will produce a lower quality and blurry image.
John Baldessari:
For this photoshoot I was inspired by John Baldessari. He was an American conceptual artist and was knows greatly for his photography which he blended with his art. He combined the two he created some very unique images which engaged lots of viewers.
He created a range of images using just three balls. He threw the balls into the air and tried to capture them all in a row before they fell back to the ground. he also created images of people as they tried to dodge him and he tried to follow them using different shutter speeds.
Some examples of his work:
