"Dread" Trotting

About this work

This is a grid of black-and-white photos showing a dog running in quick steps. The animal moves from left to right, its legs bending and stretching in a blur of motion. Each small square captures a different moment, like a flipbook but still. The photos were taken one after another to show how the dog’s body shifts. The background is simple—a fence and dirt ground—so all the focus stays on the animal. If you like this, check out Eadweard J. Muybridge (American, 1830–1904).
