Mini Biography

Eadweard Muybridge’s great discovery arrived in 1872 when he was employed by wealthy American businessman Leland Stanford, for whom Stanford College or university is known as. Stanford was thinking about whether horses raised all hip and legs off the bottom simultaneously during trotting and Muybridge was involved to take photos to settle the idea. Although the test proved inconclusive at that time, Muybridge was re-engaged for even more photographic research in 1878. Utilizing a electric battery of 12 cams set hand and hand and a specifically designated fence along the competition monitor to pinpoint the horse’s exact movements, Muybridge efficiently created the 1st true research of movement. The photographs demonstrated Stanford’s statements and arranged the photographer on the lifelong search to generate movement in photos. This and later on studies affected a era of French professional photographers (Étienne-Jules Marey, Louis Lumière and Auguste Lumière) and American Thomas A. Edison to build up equipment that could benefit from Muybridge’s discoveries.
