Gjon Mili (1904-1984) was an Albanian-American photographer who came to the United States in 1923. In 1939, he started to work as a photographer for LIFE magazine, a position he held until he died. Over the years, his assignments took him to the Riviera (to photograph Picasso), France (Pablo Casals), Israel (Adolf Eichmann in captivity), Florence, Athens, Dublin, Berlin, Venice, Rome and Hollywood. He photographed celebrities and artists, sports events, concerts, sculpture and architecture.

 

Trained as an engineer and self-taught in photography, Mili was a pioneer in the use of stroboscopic instruments to capture a sequence of actions in one photograph, and was one of the first to use an electronic flash and stroboscopic light to create photographs that had more than scientific interest. Many of his notable images reveal the beautiful intricacy and graceful flow of movement too rapid or complex for the naked eye to discern.

 

In 1944, he directed the short film Jammin' the Blues, made at Warner Bros., which is considered a minor landmark in the way musicians have been filmed.

Picasso draws a centaur in the air

 

Gjon Mili's work with Picasso stemmed from his ground-breaking work with flash strobes and long exposures. A long exposure allows the film (or digital sensor) to record a scene for several seconds, minutes or hours at a time. Because the film is continually recording the scene before it, any noticeable movement creates blurs (or, in this case, light streaks). Mili and Picasso began creating their light drawings in 1949; Picasso draws a centaur in the air, shown above, was the most popular image in the series. Picasso drew in the air using a small flashlight attached to a power source. The drawings were done in a darkened room in order for the flashlight's light trails to be recorded. Mili would then flash his strobe, usually at the end of the light drawing, to capture the artist in the frame.
