Recently Discovered: Cinemagraphs


Just as supermodel, Coco Rocha, said: It's more than a photo but not quite a video.So what are they then? These delightfully wonderful, alluring yet sometimes a little freaky 'images', are called cinemagraphs. Visual graphics artist, Kevin Burg, and photographer, Jamie Beck, partnered together in 2009 during NYFW, where cinemagraphs were born. First, a traditional photograph is taken, then an isolated living moment is combined into the image. Their cinemagraph subjects range from fashion editorials and runway to New York City and food. You can find more of their work after the jump, or at their website here. What do you think of these super cool images?

  2. Ooh, thanks for posting this. I haven't seen anything like this before, but it's definitely intriguing - not really a photograph but not quite a video. It's a lovely idea in my opinion.

  12. I have had a bit of a love-hate relationship with these types of photos but I have to admit that I find most of these beautiful. I especially like the one of Coco on the balcony and the one with Bill Cunningham photographing at the fashion show is so cute.

    I hope you're enjoying a wonderful week ;-)

  14. This reminds me of the newspapers in Harry Potter, lol. They're pretty neat to look at. It's like they say a million words when an ordinary photograph can only say a thousand. Thank you for posting this. I find it extremely interesting. The future brings amazing things.
