Robert HarrisRobert Harris created the ‘Harris Shutter’ which makes colour photography with different primary colours exposed in separate time intervals. It is also a term used for the technique and effect. This picture is non traditional and contemporary. It is modern photography that requires digital methods of production. To achieve this effect, there needs to be at least three pictures of moving objects. Three pictures with the same exposures with an interval in between. You can also do close ups and do the photographs in burst mode. After this, use a computor programme to get one of the RGB channels for each exposure. Change three channels and combine it into a single RGB colour shot.
