Fall Series 1: Today's Levitation

Today's Levitation #1

For my Fall Series, I want to photograph levitating pictures inspired by Natsumi Hayashi. She achieves her levitations by "floating" effortlessly and naturally in Tokyo's everyday scenes. When I began shooting, I realize that it is very difficult to have a natural pose and expression. Sometimes, my poses show a jumping posture instead of a floating one. I hope that I will be able to find some exciting, bright, and cheerful backgrounds (as Hayashi has done) when I create my next series. I had to manually adjust the exposure and shutter (either 1/2500 or 1/3200) for each scene to ensure that the pictures are not too blurry or dark. In this post, I asked my mom and friends to press the camera button. For my upcoming series, I hope that I will be able to emulate the levitating tones and emotions, as Hayashi has done.
