Interesting article today about Natsumi Hayashi, who photographers herself jumping so she looks like she is levitating. Sometimes the camera is remotely controlled or she may have an assistant. Either way, it is interesting.

Nice. Whimsical. It looks fun.

Kind of like the Halsman jump series thought process.

Reminds me of Jacques Henri Lartigue flying images.

This visual trope has also landed French photographer Denis Darzacq a World Press Photo award and quite a lot of attention a few years ago: http://www.denis-darzacq.com/chute.htm

There is nothing new under the sun. Here is a series from Daniel Gordon about the desire and dream to fly.

He must be very athletic. I would think a guy could get hurt doing that. Very neat, though!

I remember seeing this a couple of months ago. Would take a lot of work. Despite the fact it isn't an original idea as people keep pointing out, it's still one that is super effective. It can lead to a lot of powerful narrative series, with endless concepts.
