“Do not think down on seconds,” calls out the harsh Soviet song from the TV series “Seventeen Moments of Spring”, and compares the moments of time with bullets whistling at the temple. Without knowing it, the photographer Alan Sayler gave weight and concreteness to this metaphor: his strong point is high-speed, or, as it is more often called, Slow motion objects collapsing under the shots. And he was right with the choice of the topic: these photographs brought him real popularity.
We have already written about how interesting are sometimes photographs of compressed space - the microworld (for example, pictures from the microscope of Susumu Nishinaga). Obviously, photographs of compressed time can be just as wonderful - because they reveal the inner side of things captured at the moment of their destruction. First, a high-speed camera helps him in this: after all, “ Slow motion - she actually acceleratedbecause there are several thousand frames for every second of time. And secondly, of course, gun.
The idea to shoot objects destroyed by bullets came to Alan Sayler's head in 2009, when he was mastering an air rifle, shooting balls from it and, for fun, captured this process on a regular camera with a built-in flash. The pictures hit the social network and immediately "fired": the photographer was simply flooded with admiring comments and suggestions from major magazines - the fame and money received helped him to bring the photo to an even higher level. By the way, some of these photos have already been cited by us in an article about fool bullets and what their destructive flight can lead to.
Although, of course, the main thing here is, as always, the sharp look of the author slow motion … The photographer perfectly chooses objects in order to "dissect" them with bullets: sometimes they are even too symbolic - like, for example, a doll's head filled with red-tinted water (obviously, these are pacifist notes). But, of course, the most difficult thing in his work is to choose from tens of thousands of photographs the most beautiful and characteristic - it seems that this slow motion master Alan Sayler learned perfectly.

Destructive art project War against Christmas by Alan Sailer

They hate the holidays in general and Christmas in particular, they hate the pre-holiday bustle, and they get an allergy attack from champagne and tangerines.
