I recently became aware of a technique called the “camera toss” which is exactly what it sounds like – throwing your camera into the air and capturing an image using the self-timer. When coupled with a light source it produces some great abstract results, I wouldn’t use your brand new 5D for this – rather its suited to a point and shoot or maybe a camera phone …
Kinetic photography (kinetic meaning “caused by motion” is an experimental photographic technique in which the photographer uses movement resulting from physics to create an image. This typically involves the artist not directly holding the camera, but allowing the camera to react to forces applied to it in order to make a photograph. This can include, but is not limited to; holding and shaking the wrist strap of the camera while taking a picture, dropping the camera off of objects while taking a picture, throwing or spinning the camera up in the air while taking a picture (called a camera toss).
So today let’s take a look at some great examples of this type of photography. Here’s 25 of the best taken from Flickr.
