To be brief, motion photography is about showing movement. Adding a slight blur of the action to your shot helps tell a story. This storytelling element makes the images a little less static and unexpected. Another reason why showing movement stands out is because it sets the mood.

Motion-picture photography is based on the phenomenon that the human brain will perceive an illusion of continuous movement from a succession of still images exposed at a rate above 15 frames per second.

By intentionally blurring the moving elements while keeping the stationary parts sharp, photographers can capture the dynamism and energy of various scenes. This effect is achieved by using a slower shutter speed, allowing the camera to record the motion over a more extended period.
