dynamic pose
Movement captured frozen
A dynamic pose captures a body in motion or apparent motion, conveying energy and action rather than static rest.
The term appears most often in art, photography, and animation, where figures twist, leap, or reach to create visual tension: The superhero was drawn in a dynamic pose, cape billowing behind him.
Contrast with static or neutral poses.
