Cinemagraph test

Whilst photographs are not strictly my domain, I do know a very talented photographer by the name of Kylie Daff, and inspired by some incredible imagery of hers, I wanted to create a cinemagraph. What’s a Cinemagraph you say? Well it’s a term coined by Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck over at photography blog From Me To You and uses an old file type to provide animation to a still photograph. To create these two test cinemagraph’s, that very talented photographer that I mentioned above took some video for me to experiment and play with last weekend during a shoot. I really love the idea of displaying a ‘living photograph’. Whilst some may look creepy and Harry Potter-ish with moving eyes, it really goes one step further in capturing emotion and blending two forms of art together. When I get a bit more time I will run through the process I followed.
