Taken at Point Reyes in California, USA. A man embarks on crossing an ocean, just like a man who chases his dreams and aspirations. This is a non-photoshopped, self-portrait levitation photograph where fast shutter speed was used to freeze the motion. Shot from a higher ground with a long focal length lens to give photograph an illusion of flying high in the sky.

I am a self-portrait, non-photoshopped levitation photographer. I was influenced by a contemporary artist, Natsumi Hayashi, and her "Today's Levitation" series in 2011. Under a concept named "Zero Gravity", I create the world of zero gravity and the life of the "levitator", who have been freed from the force of the gravity, through self-portrait photography. I have been awarded by over 70 photography competitions held in and out of Japan, and were featured in various media such as national televisions, radio, YouTube, magazines, and online articles.
