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.





In case you haven’t notice, the last one is a bit of a cheat ;)

I like these pictures, it’s like a bit of magic in a everyday situation.
the first pic is cool ^.^
These pictures are amazing.
The last one was just jumping up and shoot it sideway.
Wow, those photos are really well done! And I almost fell for the last one… but rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise and BAM! xD
