Critical Response: Motion Study

What do these two photographs have in common?
Both photographs show the movement of a subject, step by step.


How do they show motion?
They show each step of a subject step by step, in one photograph. The first shows each movement of a horse galloping, but each in different boxes. The second photograph shows a man walking down the steps in a single photo.

What is the purpose of each photograph? How do you know?
The purpose of Eadweard Muybridges' 'The Horse in Motion' is to prove that all four of the horses hooves do leave the ground when it runs.

The purposed of Ellot Elisofons' 'Dude Descending a Staircase' is to show the motion of a man walking down a staircase
