Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Which artist photographed the above images? What did he pioneer? Name the series of photographs above, and its significance.

Answer:

The images were photographed by Eadweard Muybridge. He pioneered motion study by using multiple cameras and sequential photographs to analyze movement, helping prove how animals (and people) actually move. The series is “The Horse in Motion,” which showed that at one point in a gallop all four of a horse’s hooves leave the ground. Its significance is that it helped lead directly to the invention of motion pictures by demonstrating how still images in sequence can depict motion.
