Eadweard Muybridge

Landscape photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) was commissioned by California Governor Leland Stanford in 1872 to settle an age-old argument: Does a trotting horse ever have all four feet off of the ground at the same time? Muybridge proved that it did after developing chemicals and shutters that allowed him to be among the world?s first to capture sequential stop-motion photographs. Muybridge?s photographic studies of bodies in motion amazed the people of the 19th century and sparked further development of motion pictures.
