Michael Wesely - Open Shutter Project

Michael Wesely, the man who registers time in a single image.


He is a German photographer who took the long exposure technique to another level.
Using custom made large format cameras he takes photos with exposures that last months, in a project he calls Open Shutter.
In 2001 he was invitted by MOMA to record the work of remodeling and expansion of the museum that lasted three years.
The result was three amazing pictures and the photo with the longest exposure of all time.
Wesely says that there is no limit and in the future he may take pictures with up to 40 years of exposure.
