A look at Cinemagraphs


I wanted to talk about these awesome images that are called Cinemagraphs! They are so life like its unreal! A cinemagraph is a still image with subtle motion. 
Cinemagraphs are still images that contain within themselves living elements allowing a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved. Cinemagraph is a technique of blending the effects of images and videos. It was introduced by a New York fashion photographer Jamie Beck, in collaboration with motion graphics designer Kevin Burg. Since then, many other designers have created similar forms of cinemagraphs. Cinemagraphs are typically simply created as animated .gif files making them easy to use on a web page. Source

*Don’t scroll too fast if you want to experience the Cinemagraphs and look carefully – elements you don’t expect to move may do it…!

Here are some stunning examples of cinemagraphs. -All photos belong to Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg.
