Photography is often about being at the right place at the right time. However, Paris based photographer Denis Darzacq takes that a step further. He creates his images by asking young dancers and sportsmen to improvise while he patiently waits with his camera to capture one perfectly timed frame.
He encourages his subjects to be free with their jumps and reminding them that he is shooting photographs not video. As one of his subjects comments in the video, "When he picks one frame, what comes before or after doesn't matter."
Here are some more innovations in photographic technique:
Perfect Timing
One Frame Photography
Trend Themes
1. Action-improv Photography - Opportunity for photographers to capture unique and unpredictable moments by asking subjects to improvise in action shots.
2. One-frame Photography - Creating stunning images by capturing the perfect moment in one frame, rather than recording a sequence.
3. Patience-based Photography - A shift towards photographers taking more patient and intentional shots, waiting for the right moment to capture the image.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - A shift in focus for photographers to capture more unique and unpredictable moments through asking subjects to improvise.
2. Film and Video - A shift towards still photography may open up new markets for those who can capture a moment in time without resorting to video.
3. Sports and Dance - New ways to capture the beauty of athletic and artistic movements through one-frame photography techniques.
