Motion Control Photography:

These images are created through a custom-built 3-axis motion-control platform designed to move 2D images with engineered precision. These images are produced in-camera using programmed motion paths in stepped increments or with continuous movement ( or a combination of both) while creating color changes ( using a dichroic colorhead) . Large format, registered composite masks were made to hold 4x5 transparencies exposing them in sequence (step-and repeat) or continuous time based open shutter. This is done on 4x5 color film or as RAW digital camera files. This process tries to transform motion into a sculptural element - manipulating light, geometric shapes, color, and textures with optical effects that develop into dynamic visual effects. This series extends traditional special -effetcs photography into a modern hybrid practice that unites stepper motors using G code, optics and contemporary digital refinement.
