The Decisive Moment


I ewas reading about this image and how the jumping man is eternally stuck jumping over the puddle and we will never see the out come of the leap. We have the ability to apply context and have a prior knowledge to read into this image and understand how it could end but, we can never know the outcome as fact. 
Dance photography relies so much on the decisive moment, it I a break down of a sequence, leaving the viewer of the image to apply a context and it leads the mind to imagine what came before and after that moment in the dance.

From a photographers perspective, it become a pre-emptive experience, thinking ahead in the dance preparing for what we don't know to be performed, ready to capture that decisive moment.
