Muybridge

Japanese: マイブリッジ

British-born American photographer. Born in Kingston. Moved to the US with his family around 1850. Learned photography from a daguerreotype artist in San Francisco in the early 1860s. From the mid-1860s, took landscape photographs in Yosemite Valley and other places. In 1868, he accompanied a government survey team to Alaska, which had become US territory the previous year. In 1877, he succeeded in taking a snapshot of a galloping horse. The following year, he lined up 12 cameras parallel to the horse's path and succeeded in taking continuous photographs of the moving object, proving that the depiction of a galloping horse that had been depicted in paintings up until that point was false. In 1880, he invented the zoopraxiscope, a device that showed the movement of a movie-like sequence of photographs. With the support of the University of Pennsylvania, he continued his research into animal and human movement through photography, and compiled the results of his research in his book, Animal Movement, a Study of the Successive Forms of Animal Movement by Electrophotography (1887). He returned to England in 1889 and died there.

英国出身，米国の写真家。キングストン生れ。1850年ころ一家で米国に移住。1860年代初めにサンフランシスコでダゲレオタイプ技師に写真を学ぶ。1860年代中ごろより，ヨセミテ渓谷などで風景写真を撮影。1868年政府の委託で前年米国領となったアラスカの調査団に同行。1877年疾走する馬の瞬間撮影に成功。翌年には12台のカメラを馬の走路と平行して並べ，動体の連続撮影に成功し，それまで絵画で描かれてきた馬の疾走時の描写が事実と反することを証明した。1880年連続撮影した写真を映画のように動いて見せる装置〈ズープラクシスコープzoopraxiscope〉を発明。ペンシルベニア大の後援で，写真による動物や人間の動きについての研究を継続し，その成果を著書《動物の運動，電気写真による動物の運動の連続形態の研究》（1887年）にまとめた。1889年に英国に戻り死去。
