This image depicts a woman in a red and white dress seemingly levitating in mid-air. There’s a wall in the background with presumably Japanese writing. The human consists of a mix of red and white; the wall is a dull gray, and the nature above the wall is green, which all highlights contrast and creates 3 aspects of the image. The lighting is natural, using sunlight and shadows to give focus to the woman. The woman was captured while in mid-air, and her facial expression is eccentric for someone who is jumping. She’s looking off into the horizons of the sky, maybe even around the sun.

The photograph by Natsuumi Hayashiara of a girl in a white and red dress floating in a chinese place where trains go passing by with a rain forest/jungle as a background. The image is using bright colors to make the image seem pleasing to look at. The photograph does not use the rule of thirds while having not dark lighting. The photograph has a background of trees.

The image is a self portrait of the artist levitating over a platform. The artist is wearing a red dress with a white shirt underneath. She is also wearing red sneakers. In the background, there is a wall with graffiti. Above the wall, there are the tops of trees. There is writing on a pole in Japanese.

This image depicts a young woman, maybe in her early to mid twenties, in the air in a way that it almost looks like she is levitating. Behind her we can see a metal fence and behind that, there are some trees. Also, to the left of her, there is a metal post with Japanese characters inscribed on it. Judging by the shadows in the photo, we can tell that t must be about mid day with good lighting and warmer colors. And if we look closely, we can see writing and drawings on the metal fence.

In this image, there is a girl in a pink dress and a long sleeved white shirt seemingly levitating over a walkway. She is tilted to the right in midair. The walkway drops off in the foreground. This shows that this is probably taken at a train station. There is a gray wall behind her that is a grimy, light gray wall behind her in the middle ground on which people have written in the grime. There are a few green trees in the background.

This image is of a “floating” girl who is wearing a bright red sundress with a long white-sleeve shirt on underneath it. She is wearing red sneakers and has her dark colored hair pulled up. She appears to be floating or levitating, when in reality she just took the picture while jumping to give the appearance of floating. On the far left, there is a sign written in a foreign language, most likely Japanese or Chinese, which indicates that she is somewhere in Asia. The girl is floating in front of an iron/metal wall with faint graffiti on it, and behind the wall there are many vibrant green trees. I think she is on a sidewalk, but it is hard to tell because infront of where she is standing it looks like the sidewalk ends and there is nothing left to stand on, which could mean that the setting takes place on a roof of a building.

The image is of a woman that appears to be levitating on the edge of train tracks. You can tell that it is train tracks because of the dip of the ground underneath her. The colors are bright and vibrant and there is a lot of shadows along with the light. The picture was probably taken during the middle of the day when there is the most prominent sunlight that would give the bright look of the image. The woman’s pinkish dress stands out from the gray background. 10/16/2018 07:10:51 am
The image depicts a Japanese woman levitating in what looks to be an alley or some sort of side road. The woman wears fuchsia clothes and in a style that looks sort of childish, but she seems distant like she does not know where she is. The grey wall behind her is littered with all sorts of symbols and images making it more alley like, and behind it seems to be trees almost like it is some sort of park or just outside of a city. There is some sort of poster to the left of the woman in Japanese revealing that obviously she is in japan. The road has a small amount of weeds goring which makes me believe that it is looked at in certain time intervals.

When looking at Natsumi Hayashi’s image, the red on the girls’ dress instantly draws our eyes into focusing on her. It appears as if the girl is casually levitating off of the ground. The background is made up of a fence and trees behind it. There are also letters on the left side of the image. The photo has good, natural lighting. The girl’s red dress and matching shoes make her stand out against the gray fence.

This image was taken by, Natsumi Hayashi is taken in the light of day and has a correct exposure. In the image, there are contrasting colors of red and blue that make the subject pop out to the audience. Also the image was taken specifically for the audience to create an interpretation of what the image is depicting. The subject of this picture is a girl, who is also the photographer, who seems to be levitating. The artist leaves us wondering why this was taken the way it was.

The photo is a self-portrait created by Japanese photographer Natsumi Hayashi on a sunny day. Natsumi Hayashi is in the middle of the picture, flying in a pink dress, with little white dots on it. She is staring into the sky next to a train or metro station, where the concrete on the pavement is grayish and lifeless. There is a metal barrier behind her drawn with paintings, words, and scratches, it can be suggested that it has been there for a long time. Goes back to the furthest, the background is filled with vigorous, countless stems of the trees. The author uses a warm tone and the picture was shot underneath the sunshine which creates a sense of intimacy. It’s a realistic image but the fact that Natsumi Hayashi is flying in the middle makes the picture more intriguing.

Natsumi Hayashiara seems as if she is floating or levitating in the air. As she is “levitating”, she is wearing a bright plum red dress and sneakers of the same color. Under the dress she is wearing a white long sleeve shirt with defined creases. In the background we can see a long silver panel placed horizontally. The viewer can tell it is old due to dust, erosion, and grafiti. On her very left there are japanese letters that spell something foreign to the American eye. It should be noted that the grafiti is also japanese. At the top of the frame we see lush green trees spreading above. Little pieces of grass and weed are growing through the concrete from where she is levitating. At the bottom of the frame it there is a deep deep that looks like a train track. The metal on the tracks have a rubbed copper look. Natsumi’s face looks like it’s tilted towards the sun as her face is being illuminated.

This image is of a girl on a bridge, who is levitating. The colors that Natsumi Hayashi is using are green, red, white, blue. She used green for the trees, red and white for her dress, and blue for part of her back ground. The lighting is bright sunlight with some dark shadows on the blue backdrop behind her. The objects that are included in the image are a bridge and a street light post, trees and a girl. The girl is levitating over a bridge looking at the sunlight that is shining down on her.
