About the artist

Harold Edgerton

American

1903-1990

Harold Eugene “Doc" Edgerton, also known as Papa Flash, was a pioneer American scientist and researcher from Fremont, Nebraska. He was a professor of electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Besides his achievements in Science, he also was deeply involved in the arts. He invented high-speed photography techniques that he applied to both scientific and artistic uses. He created many fascinating images on the phenomenon that are too fast to be captured with naked eyes. His books include Flash! Seeing the Unseen by Ultra High-Speed Photography (1939), Electronic Flash, Strobe (1969), Moments of Vision: The Stroboscopic Revolution in Photography (1979), and Sonar Images (1986). His work was the subject of a retrospective at the International Center of Photography, and he was given ICP's Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1987.
