I'm quite sure that you have seeing pictures like this before. And maybe wondered how these are really made. Some stunningly looks like computer graphics or renders and some looks like the were made with some kind of motion. And the fact about these shots is that they were made with some kind of a motion. And the motion is not really with the object which is shot but with the camera it self. This technique of photography is called Kinetic photography.

When you hear the word ‘kinetic‘ for the first time, probably the first thing that comes to your mind is motion. Kinetic Photography, also known as ‘camera tossing‘, is a technique of shooting photos with the actual physical movement of the camera. However, it does not necessarily involve tossing of the camera — you can also shake, bounce, swing or spin it; the goal of the technique is to obtain unpredictable results which are sometimes fascinating, always abstract and rarely boring.

The main rule of kinetic photography is simple: do not hold your camera stationary! Obviously, it is a quite uncommon and bizarre technique that involves risk of damaging your camera. The concept is extremely simple and really fun to use. Though the outcome is uncertain, kinetic photography sometimes produces beautiful abstract, random and motion blurred images. The results often look like a computer generated graphics.

Below I present some beautiful examples of kinetic photography for your inspiration.
