Artist: Shinichi Maruyama

These photographs are from my favorite series of Shinichi Maruyama's. His work captures motion set against large areas of negative space--in this one using long exposure and a nude model (dancer?), but in his other series, uses a very short exposure to get water forms suspended in air.

Even though I don't work in photography, this work interests me for the same reasons as (previously posted) Clary's and Nares' works: organic/amorphous forms and motion. Also, containing the subject within the frame, which was always something that highschool art tried to get me to stop ('fill the page', 'touch the edges so that the eye moves across the composition', and all that).
