Martin Klimas
Martin Klimas is a German photographer who is much known for his high speed photography, capturing masterpieces that are missed by the human eye. His project, sound sculptures, enables the viewer to see and understand the impact that sound waves have on liquids such as paint. To perform the shoot Klimas placed a stretched canvas over a very large speaker and then splashed different colours of paint onto the canvas. Following this, he would then turn the speaker onto full volume and then watch as the vibrations start to build and throw the paint upwards, in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Whilst doing this he would photograph the results. The fascinating thing is that each individual photograph is different from the rest and is different because of the song choice. The difference in song obviously means that the paint raptures in dissimilar ways and thus creates unique photographs.




Below is a video of martin klimas explaining about his work and how he did the 'Sound Sculptures' shoot. Unfortunately it is in German but the I have decided to include it as it demonstrates how he produced the series of photographs.
