The Art of the Blurry Strokes with hundredyearsgone

Lomographer hundredyearsgone has a one-of-a-kind style that immediately identifies with them and pulls the viewer in.  Blurry photographs are not the most commonly desired aesthetic, but this artist has a way of creating suspense and motion with their esoteric approach.

The portraits give the feeling of being whisked away.  Pictures of landscapes and scenery look like they were taken in midst of a hurricane, the unified direction of these blurry strokes creating that image of the wind. In hundredyearsgone's repertoire, there's stress on the ephemeral and fleeting.

To achieve these shots, they use slower black and white films to make these broad, blurry strokes. Motion (could be the subject or the camera beholder) would also define the directions of the strokes more. Like a black and white ink painting.

For the common photographer, the aesthetics would be deemed undesirable, even be considered as failures. But this deliberate, abstract aesthetic on film may have stirred us more than the usual fine and crisp image.
