Shooting a Portrait in Burma as a Photographer for TIME Magazine

Update on 12/18/21: This video has been removed by its creator.

It's guaranteed to make most portrait assignments sound extremely boring.

“Chrono Cubist” Photos by Diego Kuffer

For his "In Transit" series, Diego Kuffer takes multiple photographs of scenes, then creates neat-looking composite images afterwards. Kuffer tells us,

The idea behind the series is all about time, but in a more condensed way, also known as "moments". I wanted to capture a moment with photography, but it only allowed me to get instants. So I decided to use the idea behind the movie making techniques (a great way of capturing moments) and apply it to photography. So, I took several snapshots of the same scene, sliced them horizontally and vertically, and assembled them in to a single one, chronologically. I like to think about these grammar as Chrono Cubism.
