Photography joiners and slow shutter speed

Based on the work of Photographic artist Kevin Meredith we created our own joiners by taking multiple images of different sections of the body and mixing them with those of other people. We took the photos outside, my group chose a wooden fence as our background, and other photos in the studio, we then combined the 2.

Slow shutter speed
shutter speed is the length of time a cameras shutter is open when taking a photograph. This then determines the amount of light that will be taken into the photo or image. Slow shutter speed is particularly good at capturing movement as the different positions of the subject will all be captured in the same image, it is like taking multiple images of a subject all in different positions and layering them together into the same image. An artist who explored this technique was Man Ray - http://www.manraytrust.com/
