Distorted Timeline Photography

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Jay Mark Johnson Captures Images That Emphasize Time Over Space

— October 17, 2012 — Fashion
It was a happy day when photographer Jay Mark Johnson--who also happens to be an architect, painter, political activist, cinematic special-effects designer, and student of cognitive sciences--discovered what is now dubbed timeline photography. After purchasing a $85,000 rotating slit-scan camera, which records vast landscapes sliver by sliver, for high-resolution panoramas, Jay Mark Johnson found the accidental effects of motion in front of the camera strangely poetic. Honing in on certain subjects, his work emphasizes time over space.

Born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and based in Venice, California, Jay Mark Johnson "produces photographic images that challenge the norms of perception," as written in his biography. By isolating subject from background, his camera provides a new perspective for his audience to immerse themselves in.
Trend Themes
1. Timeline Photography - The emergence of timeline photography opens up new artistic avenues, and could enable travel and real estate agencies to showcase products in an innovative light.
2. Slit-scan Photography - Slit-scan cameras can capture images that allow for creative manipulation and generation of artistic content, and it has applications in areas such as sports photography and movie-making.
3. Motion Art - Motion art combining still shots and motion blur could potentially revolutionize storytelling and advertising in the film and marketing industry.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - The evolution of timeline photography presents an opportunity for visual artists to create unique works and for real estate and travel industries to create interactive and engrossing content.
2. Sports Photography - The use of slit-scan cameras could aid the development of intricate 3D models of athletes’ movements, aiding in their analysis and improvement.
3. Film and Advertising - Motion art techniques might potentially upend conventional storytelling methods and improve digital ad campaigns by allowing for a more interactive and dynamic narrative.
