Human Figure in Motion 140 years old

Human Figure in Motion

Muybridge first photographed the human figure in motion on March 4th 1879. However, he did not focus on the human body until his contract at Pennsylvania University began in May 1884, resulting in two volumes of work dedicated to photographs of human subjects. Muybridge's test footage included cinematic glimpses of naked men and women in motion.
