Grant Legassick- Objects In Time

Objects In Time, Photo Object, Year 2

Grant Legassick is a contemporary photographer who first worked as a visual effects artist working under many well known names in the industry such as; Tim Burton and Oliver Stone. Because of Legassick’s background in visual arts, his style of photography   has clear links to his previous style of work. Legassick traveled the world developing his style  of photography. During his travels, he found himself drawn to urban spaces. Legassick often uses multiple layering techniques to create a pencil drawing effect. The style of image, Leggassick creates, shows people and objects moving through time. He creates his images by using a long exposure time to create a motion blur effect.

This image (as seen below) shows the busy day to day life of a London train station. by setting his camera to a long exposure, Legassick has created a unique image of Waterloo station. in this upcoming week, i plan to take part in a studio workshop looking into motion blur. Whilst in the studio, i will investigate the way in which objects move through time, as seen in this image by Legassick.
