Bike Shutters

Photography is like riding a bicycle (maybe this formula is pretty worn out, but it always works), and it's unavoidable to compare the spokes of a bicycle with the way that the blades of a shutter tangent to its center.

The shape is interesting and already evokes a kind of movement, despite the hexagonal center, it suggests a certain dynamism.

I looked for some kind of speed suggestion with the gradients too, and in a way the two shutters paired up remind me of eyes, maybe it's a special way of seeing things in motion. Initially the idea was that the bike frame would suggest a camera, but I don't think it's so necessary.

The essential idea here is eye speed, the photographic journey in motion, something along those lines.
