Gregory Bartning | Fusion of Photography & Movement



Gregory Bartning is a San Francisco based photographer, shooting weddings, portraits, commercial, corporate and fine art.  He became addicted to photography after his senior year in college abroad in Paris.  Recently he's gotten into movement photography when he realized how difficult it was to truly capture a feeling or motion in a still image.  Collecting inspiration from Howard Schatz, Lois Greenfield and James Houston aspires him to create a great image.



Each image is not just capturing the athlete in motion as they would normally perform, but an image that is choreographed to be complete in that instant, in the photograph.



His models are trapeze, ballet, and aerial dance performers as he believes that humans are shaped by their activities.  Dancers have a body that is carved into them by years of hard work and discipline.
