These images are all examples of sequence photography. Their purpose is to show the linear order in which related things follow each other, so that we are able to see a sequence through photography rather than film footage. In some cases, a multiple image is created, for example in the 4th image down of the men crossing each others paths. This shows us the process of the men crossing each other in different steps however because they are almost identical in content we know these pictures are showing the same event in linear order. A different approach of sequencing photography is shown in the top photo. Although this image also shows a linear order of an action, it is shown in only one frame this time with the position of the individual changing in order to show movement, which works effectively.
