One of Natsuyi Hayashi's "flying" photos. Isn't it cool? | Photo courtesy of Natsuyi Hayashi Everyday, Hayashi posts on her blog self-portraits of her suspended in mid-air wherein she seems to be levitating. Although she made flying look easy, Hasyashi revealed that it sometimes takes her more than 300 jumps to perfect the shots.
Natsumi Hayashi, who has been an artist's assistant for 2 years, hopes to soar high in her career as a photographer after rising to popularity through her "levitation" photos.

Beautiful! How does she get that forward leaning attitude?!?!?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like if she were jumping so she must be levitating, or always have black eyes, skinned knees & bloody noses!
There are thousands of these types of “levitation” photos on the web and search will return endless tutorials on how to do this. This has been around since the beginning of photography. Nothing new.
ReplyDeleteThe point isn't that it's "nothing new"- you're quite right, seeing as I as well as many others have done photographs like this for years. The point is how well she is able to do these photos, not how original the concept is. It's like a novel: there are only so many underlying plots an author can choose from- it's the execution of that plot that makes an excellent novel.
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool. She looks so calm and natural and that's what I like about them.
