Humans have a natural affinity for the concept of speed. We’re always looking for ways to move faster and work faster, and many people get an adrenaline rush from driving at high speeds. This need for speed has led our lives to be incredibly fast paced, and maybe the only thing we want to be slower is our aging process.
This natural desire for speed makes for a great concept in art, film and photography. The techniques for capturing the concept of speed vary depending on the medium, but in photography, long exposure, motion blur and action photography all work well to capture speed.
Here, I’ve showcased some intense examples of speed photography for your viewing pleasure.
