Titoy,
I recommend is to take it for what it is already without clarification . .
. subject in motion and/or photographer in motion . . . a study of "motion"
however you choose to define what "motion" means as related to lighting,
photographer, camera, and subject . . . and however you choose to portray
that to others. Why? It encourages participants' imagination to explore
the definition of "motion" as a theme for themselves and results in a more
diverse response from those participating.
I saw this play out with an annual event for professional photographers
held each year by an association of press and commercial photographers in
Ohio. Their "themes" have a very elegant simplicity. The person who
chaired the last one (2002) and who has participated in many of them over
the years stressed a guiding principle: the simpler the theme, the
better. The result of that is stunning and produces an impressive array of
photographs spanning enormous interpretation.
A similar request came up about the "landscape" event and what it
meant. Leaving it open to individual interpretation resulted in a very
diverse gallery.
