Galloping horse, animated using photos by Muybridge (1887) Eadweard Muybridge (/ ˌ ɛ d w ər d ˈ m aɪ b r ɪ dʒ /; 9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904, born Edward James Muggeridge) was an English photographer known for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motion-picture projection.
At least from the early 1840s some photographers used multiple cameras, resulting in series of pictures with small differences in time and/or angle. However, changes in poses or angles between exposures were usually aimed at the most advantageous look for the model, not at the slight and regular changes needed for a chronophotographic sequence.
Early techniques that involve moving pictures and/or projection include: Shadowgraphy (probably in practice since prehistoric times) Camera obscura (a natural phenomenon that has possibly been used as an artistic aid since prehistoric times) Shadow puppetry (possibly originated around 200 BCE in Central Asia, India, Indonesia or China)
