VEGAS IN MOTION – 17,000-plus time-lapsed images capture city’s pulse

From prizefights to everyday scenes, we shot more than 30 places throughout Las Vegas. The scenes often were taken in between daily assignments and were compiled to give a sense of Las Vegas’ hectic pace. Vegas in Motion comprises 17,887 still pictures taken between April 2009 and this month.

The images were  edited together using time-lapse photography. This technique is done by taking a picture at a much slower speed than it will be played back at, creating a smooth flowing motion.

A video tutorial explaining time-lapse photography is available on the Review-Journal website.
Our goal was to give a unique perspective of a city that never stops moving.
