Kevin Burg / Jamie Beck

Coined by artists Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck, cinemagraphs are essentially a .gif formatted image where only a portion of the image is shown to be in motion but only after a small amount of time. In addition to this, the .gif format allows it to be on loop, granting this moment the chance to go on for as long as the viewer so pleases. On the artists’ site, there’s everything from fashion editorials to events within NYFW and even food, but though they have this array of subject matter and techniques about handling them, I find myself particularly gravitating towards the ones that are slightly less obvious in movement (ones that are extraordinarily still such as the Anna Wintour one below).
