Barbara Morgan (Web Work #5)

Barbara Morgan was an American Photographer throughout the 20th Century. She did a lot of photographer in dance, and was very well known for this. She also was the creator of the magazine Aperature.

Photography wasn't the only thing Barbara Morgan was interested in, as she also loved to paint. When her two children were born though, she didn't have enough time for a family, photography and painting. Therefore, Barbara Morgan was forced to give up painting a focus on photography.

She was inspired by energy of all sorts, but especially dance. She loved the flow and "vibe" dance had given off. She also did photographs of light, such as light drawings, which were also a source of energy.


(Above): Barbara Morgan must have used a high aperature such as 2000. This way she could have taken the photoraph with no motion blurr.


(Above): She also did pictures of light moving. she probaby did this in low light (Pretty much totally black), and moved the light fast to get this effect.
