Biography:
Eadweard Muybridge moved to the United States in his early twenties where he became interested in the western landscape. He was involved in a stagecoach incident and then returned to England to study photography. In 1867, he ventured back to America and began a photography career. In 1827, Muybridge met the railroad tycoon and governor of California, Leland Stanford. Stanford made bet that at one point during a horse’s gallop, all four of its hooves are off the ground and hired Muybridge to prove it photographically. Using a trip-shutter, high-speed photography, and twenty-four cameras, he proved Stanford correct. Continuing with this idea, Mubridge completed his “Animal Locomotion” studies in 1887.
