Went to a photo workshop on shutter drag today. Very, very fun stuff.

Zinn Star is one of those dream models I had the chance to work with two or three times and I need to feature her more often because looking back at each of our photo sessions I have tons of what we call as "keepers". Shooting with Zinn was a treat and inspiration and I cherished our time together in the studio or on location. This shot was from our first session at my home surprisingly fifteen years ago. Using window light and perhaps a foam core board reflector as to save some detail on her shadow side, I had her be fiercely expressive, frustrated, angry, lashing out and roar. She sold the action by grabbing her breasts as one would rip their shirt in anger... I just Love this detail for the shot. Now intentionally or by happy mistake, I honestly don't recall really, but my shutter speed was clocked at 1/5th of a second. It think it was set to equal the Hasselblad 6x6 I was also shooting and I forgot to reset my Nikon, whatever, It captured her slight movement, some might say it's a bad photo but to me the motion blur adds to the emotion and intention of her pose. Of the hundreds of great images we created, this blurry yet intense photo of Zinn is one of my favorite we have produced, maybe because it is different and out of the normal thing we would traditionally do... crazy how that happens right?! Idk, but art to me is the creation of the moment and feeling of the creative process. Yes we can do precisely choreographed set up posed shots, and I love doing those to but sometimes flying by the seat of your pants [as they say] is fun too, just like musicians do just jamming out grooving to a feeling. Either way it's always a learning process, even for those of us who have been doing this for many decades, and that's what always keeps it fresh and inspiring. Forever grateful to Zinn Star 🤍

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH of This SH*T ...

Fun creating with Charlie Kristine, examples of flash photography using the "shutter drag". This is where the flash "freezes" the action, but the shutter remains open for much longer to get the blurred, painted effect with the LED wings. #creative #model #lightpainting #shutterdrag

A macro study of yellow blossoms rendered with both clarity and motion. Using shutter drag — a slow 1/3 second exposure combined with strobe — the petals blur into golden trails while the flash freezes their centers in sharp relief. The result is a layered image that feels both dreamlike and precise: a dance of stillness and motion, structure and softness. With f/18 depth and a 90mm macro lens, the flowers become more than botanical detail — they read as glowing brushstrokes, painting light across the frame.

A macro photograph of several purple daisy-like flowers, with a prominent blossom dominating the frame. The petals exhibit a beautiful, intentional motion blur, creating a dynamic, starburst effect as they radiate outwards from a sharply focused, textured golden-yellow center. The background is a soft, dark blur of greens and browns, enhancing the ethereal quality of the main subjects. This effect was achieved with shutter drag technique, turning the flower into a vibrant, spinning spectacle. — A whisper from the unseen wind, caught in a painterly blur of lavender and gold. These petals, once still, now dance with the ghost of a breeze, anchoring a tiny, star-like universe in their vibrant core.

A macro photograph featuring a pale pink-to-lilac flower, likely an anemone, centered against a deep, muted purple-black background. Its translucent petals softly glow, highlighting delicate veins and fine, fuzzy edges, all bathed in a gentle backlight. The flower's heart bursts with a vibrant yellow-green, densely textured with stamens. The background features ethereal streaks and washes of luminous purple light, a testament to the shutter drag technique that creates a beautiful movement trail around the bloom. — A silent bloom, bathed in a forgotten dream, unfurls its luminous edges as time itself dissolves into streaks of amethyst light. It's a fleeting whisper, a moment stretched thin, revealing the vibrant heart of a world enchanted. This captivating shot captures the flower in a dream-like state, a delicate dance between stillness and motion.

Slow shutter speed panning photography in Osaka, Japan.

A long exposure photograph of a room with a kitchen table and several chairs with two large window doors in the back ground. There are hints at the movement of a person in the foreground of the image. The chair closets to the viewer shows movement from the person standing up from the table. Only a small part of the table is visible. It is mostly cut off on the right side.

A photograph of a house blurred from left to right. The photo was a long exposure while driving down the street. Trees and a drive way is suggested along with the house.

Week 26. Capture the concept of time passing with a photo. Here’s a couple potential pics. #photo #Photograph #Art #ContemporaryArt #LongExposure #ShutterDrag

A security camera sits near the middle of the frame. On the right side, a white brick wall occupies 1/3rd of the right side of the image. A black gravel/rocky wall occupies the other 2/3rds of the image. The camera and wall penetration runs parallel to the intersection of the two walls.

A blurry man crosses the street carrying a bike rack. The other parts of the image are similarly blurred due to a slow shutter speed. The lights in the far background trace from the back to front ever so slightly. There is also a slight radial spin to the image as well. This was done intentionally by twisting the camera while firing the shutter button.

A black and white image of an omnidirectional video camera assembly mounted at the peak of a corner of a building. The walls fall away to the bottom of the frame to form a pyramid type shape. The sky behind the video camera is a light white to light grey gradient from right to left.

A large orange “PARKING” sign mounted to a light tan brick wall. The edge of the orange letters meet almost exactly with the intersection of the brick wall. The sky is a bright white.

This set is still in progress. I'm exploring shutter drag and taking inspiration from spirit photography/dissociation/dysmorphia.
