This is a self-portrait, non-photoshopped levitation photo taken at Senbon Torii in Kyoto Japan. The Shot was taken using a tripod and a remote, with fast shutter speed to freeze my jump motion. I attempted to create an atmosphere where gravity has no effect on the subject (myself). Unusually quiet atmosphere of Senbon Torii, where it is usually overly crowded with tourists, further accentuate a strange environment that the subject is in.
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.
