Eadweard Muybridge Research.
Eadweard Muybridge was born in 9 April 1830 and died 8 may 1904. Muybridge was an English photographer. He was important photographer because of his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motion-picture projection. he was adopted with the name Eadweard Muybridge.
At age 20, he emigrated to America ( New York) as a book seller, and then to San Francisco. He returned to England in 1861, and took up professional photography, learning the wet-plate collodion process, and secured two British patents for his inventions. He went back to San Francisco in 1867 and in 1868 his large photographs of Yosemite Vally made him world famous. Today Muybridge is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop motion photographs, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that predated the flexible strip in cinematography.
He travelled for more than 1 year in Central America on a photographic expedition in 1875.
In the 1880s, Muybridge entered a very productive period at the university of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, producing over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, capturing what the human eye could not distinguish as serrate movements.
He spent much of his later years giving public lectures and demonstration s of his photography and early motion picture sequence, travelling back to England and Europe to publicise his work. He also edited and published compilation of his work, which greatly influenced visual artists and the developing fields of scientific and industrial photography.
