Levitating in Tokyo - Natsumi Nayashi

One, two, three and jump... We did alot in our lives especially with our friends taking some group photographs. If the photos are well captured with Cartier-Bresson's theory - decisive moment (in this case of course the decisive moment is all about the acts of the "photographees", not about the photographer due to it is on self-portrait mode.) , the moment of you and your friends freezing in the air together with funny postures and hilarious facial expressions is definitely the most meaningful act. How about you jump into air without your friends in the picture? Weird? Not really... Natsumi Nayashi is a Japanese, living in Tokyo and has done alot self-floating-portraitures with her Canon 5D Mark ll. If Natsumi did use any shutter remote-control, purely rely on her sense of timing to perform such a fantastic "reverse decisive moment", then she should consider herself as a levitating performance artist rather than a photographer. In true, I love the style of her photographs. (it's very unusual to "quote" the artist's images more than 5! In this article, I put 12 of her works...)
