hayashi natsumi: levitation self portraits

image © hayashi natsumi
elevating the art of self-portraits to a new level - literally - tokyo-based photographer
hayashi natsumi's work consists of the artist seemingly floating in midair within conventional
settings in and around the japanese city. entitled 'today's levitation', the series is updated daily
with new photographs set in a variety of locations from a desolate street to a busy train platform.
using the aid of a simple tripod, the self-portraits are taken with a 10-second timer from
a distance. all the poses are captured in mid-jump with no aid of a rigging system or photoshop.
impossibly relaxed and composed, the floating subject injects a surreal atmosphere to
the often normal set, rendering an image devoid of gravity or physics.

its real photo
you can see some motion blur in end of some part that are oposite of direction of movement
like end of fits and hands
look at the hairs...they;ll tell you many thing
And those production values- wow. Hair, costume, makeup, shoes, EVERYTHING- they all go into making these stunningly stylish.
I wanna be like Hayashi Natsumi!
