For his project titled motion, brooklyn, new york-based photographer bill wadman shot portraits of dancers with a slow shutter speed in order to capture their movements through motion blur. the resulting photographs look like a strange fusion of photography and painting.

here’s what wadman tells us about how the project came about:
‘motion’ started as an experiment, a departure from my traditional and conceptual portrait work. i had attended a lecture by old-school sports photographer marvin newman where he showed a slow shutter speed image he had taken of a boxer with his saturated glove smearing across the frame as he punched his opponent. i was inspired by the imagery and idea of capturing motion in a dynamic way, so started experimenting with long exposure photography.
