Shutter speed - Xavier Rey


 
 
I came across this self-taught, French photographer and it became clear in his work that he uses long exposures, so he is a perfect photographer to demonstrate shutter speed.  
 
The long shutter speed creates a dream-like effect in his images in my opinion. I think they evoke a feeling of relaxation and peace and time passing by. The clouds and the water look soft and blurred as a lot of movement has happened during the exposure but the still objects are clear and sharp because they have stayed static during the exposure. The blur of the water and clouds and things around, really isolate the still objects in the photographs.
 
He makes black and white photographs in square format and i think this works really well for his style and composition.
