Portfolio

These eight photos best represent the goals of my chosen photographer, Natsumi Hayashi. All of the photos that I have chosen give off the impression that the subject is floating in air, whether that be by doing everyday actions, or simply levitating with a background to frame the subject. In addition, all of the photos give off a light and bright vibe to further add to the light feeling that levitation gives off.

Fall Series Draft #4

In this final draft, I really wanted to focus on going back to the basics of levitation rather than crafting scenarios out of each photo which is why a majority of my photos are more centered around the setting and the framing. Some of the photos in this draft show everyday actions, while others simply show people levitating. Overall, I think that I was able to finally find the recipe that worked for me when it came to creating my photographs.

Fall Series Draft #3

This week I chose to focus more on groups of people levitating. This was actually really hard as I had to worry about both finding people as well as getting them all to jump at the same time so I could get the photo perfectly timed. For this reason, I was not able to get as many photos produced as I would have liked to.

Fall Series Draft #2

For this draft, I decided to take photos outside of school. These photos are less focused on everyday activities and more of movements in nature. I kept the last photo because I thought it looked really cool. My goal this week was to try and experiment with different environments for my photos. I was able to get more photos because I used a different camera and was able to get more shots at a time, which really helped speed up my process. Similar to my first draft, I struggled a little with timing which is why some of the photos are blurry.
