In my search for worthy photographers, i approached my searches by category. Which isn't usually how i search about but it yielded some great photographers. In particular, i found a man that, everywhere i looked, was credited for being the father of motion photography. His name is Eadweard Muybridge.
This man lived out his life in the 1800's and was a one of the first, if not the first to take photos to make an object move, or in other words motion photography. He came to to his first motion photo project around 1868 when the then mayor of california made an opinion on whether a horses feet ever left the ground completely. It was a debate at the time and the mayor hired Muybridge to find out if the horse's feet touched the ground. This is when the horse in motion was born. Taken with numerous cameras, he was able to capture the horse in motion
Horse in Motion
Awesome stuff, especially for being done such a long time ago. Now, photographers use a single camera to take motion photography, Most new cameras can now take 10 frames a second, which is exactly what he did all those years ago with multiple cameras. coolness.
heres some more of his work, just incase you don't want to go looking around
