Eadweard is a new indie biopic about the life of English photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who�s considered to be one of the godfathers of cinema due to his early experiments with capturing and projecting motion. The film is a 104-minute psychological drama that tells the story of Muybridge�s life, from his controversial photos of nude and deformed subjects, to the murder of his wife�s lover, to his work as one of the earliest �filmmakers.�
Muybridge is the photographer who famously used 12 separate still cameras in 1872 to photograph a horse galloping as a sequence of shots (proving that all 4 feet come off the ground at the same time):
Here are some still frames and publicity shots from Eadweard:

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
