Types of Motion in Tennis:

These two photographs are both of women doing a tennis serve. They are of the same thing, but they are expressed very differently and give off completely different ideas. The first photograph is taken with multiple exposures to show all of the stages of a tennis serve whereas the second picture shows a woman frozen in motion. The background is blurry, but she is clear. I think that the first image is much more expressive than the first one, because it's more fine art and less commercialized. In addition, the photograph shows all of the stages of a serve and I think that that tells a much bigger story than just a girl frozen in action.
Triptychs:

This series of photographs is what we would call a triptych. Triptychs often tell a story or show some sort of progression. Triptychs can be very interesting with motion, because like I said, it shows a progression of action and movement. It almost feels like watching a movie that is stopped.

This is a great example of a triptych with motion, showing a progression of events. I think that presenting motion this way is much more powerful than just having a singular image.
