His work laid the groundwork for the development of motion pictures. Eadweard's most famous project, titled The Horse in Motion, utilized multiple cameras to capture sequential images. He also experimented with photographic techniques and was an early advocate for the artistic potential of photography, influencing future generations of photographers and filmmakers.
