Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much more spread out than the frequency used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing.
Traditionally time-lapse shot is synonymous with a video. I decided to give this concept a twist. What if we pick a few a few frames from the entire catalogue of frames that make a time-lapse video and stack and blend them in post, wouldn’t the results be surreal! With that thought in mind I did some concept shots. Hope you like them.

Here are two renditions of the timelapse photograph.
The one on the left shows the scene at every hour of the day as you would see on the clock with the day starting at 9 AM and finishing at 9 PM.
The one on the right comprises of strips that indicate a 2-hour window.
