Self-portraits

Blurred/stop motion: This picture was taken outside near the park, the background being stop motion and me slightly blurred due to motion.

Stop motion: This picture was taken whilst going back home from the park, the clouds showing an S shape and they were slowly moving towards where I was headed.

Long exposure: Taken in my room when I decided to take a long exposure picture whilst swinging my arms in a butterfly manner.

Blurred motion: Jumped off my bed for some nice blurred motion

Stop Motion: Picture was taken in my hallway, seems like I froze time to disappear... Where could I be?

Research

Man Ray was an American photographer who did most of his works in France, Paris. Most of his photography was in black and white as the time did not let him do otherwise. He focused mostly on painting but he also did some self-portrait photography. He doesn't use any motion techniques, however in the images presented, we can see his core focus on the duality and the contrast he tries to show with the first and second picture having respectively, an old eye over his left and half a face with a beard. He may have focused on surreal painting but his sense for the real world quickly became noticeable in his pictures.
