Time Bracketing An Interactive Photographic Approach to Time-As-Space

Time Bracketing is a novel technique to photographically depict a time-varying space or object in a single image without spatial distortion or fragmentation. The approach attempts to strike a balance between procedural generation and manual composition as well as between faithful depiction and digital manipulation. It also enables the clear representation of both dynamic and static scene elements. As a result, Time Bracketing puts the subject, rather than the technique, in the center of its artistic creation. This paper introduces the method, presents a custom-built authoring software for the creation of Time Bracketing images, and shows and architectural studies using the described technique and software.
