Gjon Mili 是第一批使用電子閃光燈捕捉肉眼無法捕捉的快速移動的人和事物的攝影師之一

從 1937 年開始使用電子閃光燈。

他利用一系列閃光（即頻閃攝影）創作了杜象畫作《下樓梯的裸女》的翻版。

他也拍攝了類似的頻閃照片，拍攝了投手投指節球和芭蕾舞者的運動照片。

吉恩桑頓 (Gene Thornton) 在《紐約時報》上評論了 1980 年米利先生的作品回顧展，他說：「在與《生活》雜誌的長期合作中，米利以拍攝清晰對焦的定格照片而聞名，這些照片捕捉的是移動速度太快而無法用肉眼看清的人物和事物。觀眾常常覺得米利的照片是某個特定動作的權威寫照。

 他說：“畢業後，我作為業餘愛好者拍攝了很多照片，同時通過研究燈光來謀生。” “十年之後我才能夠從我的攝影工作中獲得物質利益。”

「隨著高速電子閃光燈的出現，我成為了一名專業攝影師，」他補充道。 “我們這一代人正值攝影技術突飛猛進的時代，我們湧現出許多嘗試和尋求新方法的衝動。”

Gjon Mili, one of the first photographers to use the electronic flash to capture people and things that move too fast for the naked eye


began using the electronic flash in 1937. With it, he would freeze an instant of action in a photograph or, with a rapid series of successive flashes, make a friezelike study of successive phases of the same action.

It was with a series of flashes, called stroboscopic photography, that he created his version of the Duchamps painting ''Nude Descending a Staircase.''

He made similar stroboscopic photographs of a pitcher letting fly a knuckle ball and of a ballet dancer in motion.

Gene Thornton, reviewing a 1980 retrospective of Mr. Mili's works in The New York Times, said: ''During his long connection with Life, Mili was best known for his sharply focused stopmotion photographs of people and things that moved too fast to be seen by the unaided eye. The viewer often felt that Mili's photograph was the definitive picture of a particular action.''

 ''After graduating I took many photographs as an amateur while doing research in lighting to earn a living,'' he said. ''It was 10 years before I was able to profit materially from my photographic efforts.''

''With the advent of high speed electronic flash units, I turned professional,'' he added. ''My generation came at a time when photography was advancing by leaps and bounds, creating the impulse to experiment and to seek new approaches.''

在《生活》雜誌，米利先生拍攝了舞者、演員、爵士音樂家和運動員。他的照片被收錄在多本書中，包括《Gjon Mili：照片與回憶》、《畢卡索的照片》、《歌劇的魔力》和《畢卡索與第三個維度》。
At Life, Mr. Mili photographed dancers, actors, jazz musicians and athletes. His photographs are collectted in several books, including, ''Gjon Mili: Photographs and Recollections,'' ''Photographs of Picasso,'' ''The Magic of Opera'' and ''Picasso et la Troisi eme Dimension.''
