Proposal
Time
Through this project i want to create photos showing visual illusions of levitation. I want to create between 4 and 6 images showing a superhero like story, following one man from his discovery of his levitation abilities through the blessings and burdens it brings finally ending in a resolution. Using high speed photography and photoshop to create surreal images.
Skills i will learn from this are clever framing and capturing to alter our perception and advanced use of photoshop and layers. To capture these images i will use a high shutter speed 1/1000th or above, because of this i will need to photograph in bright situations mostly during the day or using a flash. I will use a wide aperture focused on the main subject/person in the image to focus the attention of the viewer. To make my photoshopped images i will use props to hold up my subjects and then using a tripod take a photo of the exact same scene without the subject or the object and use a layer mask to remove the object in post processing.
I have chosen this idea after finding the website http://yowayowacamera.com/ run by Tokyo based photographer Natsumi Hayashi. The whole website showcases her amazing levitation portraits. She creates amazingly surreal, well composed portraits which capture your eye and make you ask "How the hell did they do this". I want to create the same feelings with my photographs. The purpose of this project is to produce a series of interesting images
