Levitating Self-Portraits by Natsumi Hayashi

Aug 29, 2011 1 comments

Teenage photography sensation Natsumi Hayashi takes pictures of herself seemingly floating in midair. Equipped with only a tripod or with help from a friend, these self portraits are taken with a 10-sec timer from a distance in various locations around Tokyo. All poses are captured in mid-jump with no aid of a rigging system or Photoshop. What makes her photographs amazing is her ability to remain impossibly relaxed and composed even in mid jump, rendering images that seems to break the laws of gravity. Sometimes it takes her over 300 shots to obtain the perfect “frozen in time” look.
