action shots
Dynamic movement photographs
Action shots are photographs or video footage capturing subjects in motion—athletes mid-leap, birds in flight, cars racing.
The term emphasizes dynamic movement frozen or tracked by the camera, as opposed to posed or static images: The photographer specialized in action shots of surfers.
