Natsumi Hayashi’s levitation photography

Tokyo photographer Natsumi Hayashi [Jp] is becoming an internet buzz lately with her levitating self portraits in which she appeared to be floating in the air.

Nothing tricky, it’s basically catching a girl jumping on pic. The key is the right timing and body motion so that she appears to be floating instead of jumping or falling. It requires a lot of patience, especially if she’s doing it all by herself.
