This piece shows a women mid motion flying in the air. She is carrying a bouquet of flowers. Her pose makes her look like she is more flying then falling, she has one leg knee pointing out while the other is stiff. She is on a street that is going down, this street makes the height the she is flying seem much larger than it is. There is a woman in the background walking with a sun umbrella, she is not reacting to the flying woman.

This photograph is taken of a woman levitating in the air on a residential street while holding a colorful bouquet of flowers. The colors in the image are greens in the trees and bright colors found in the outfit the woman is wearing as well as the bouquet of flowers she is holding. The tones are warm even in the cooler colors (greys,blues, etc.) however the lighting in the image is quite a mellow natural light, taken on a day where there was not much sun. the womans face shows little to now expression as she moves through the air in a very posed position. The buildings on the street look like a normal urban street and a truck sits behind her and a man walks on the sidewalk as if the scene was all very normal and natural. In the image the woman moves through the air quite lifeless and because she is the focal point of the image there is not much other context given besides herself.

Natsumi Hayashi’s image is a self-portrait of her levitating over an alleyway between houses. She is holding a small bouquet of a few flowers. The flowers are bright, neon colors and they stand out with the bland houses behind her. The skirt she is wearing also stands out, because it is bright coral. It is fairly bright in this photo, but the natural light makes it seems like it is an overcast day.

Natusumi Hayashi shot the picture in good lighting . She made sure that there weren't any vehicles in the background to ruin the picture . Natsumi also had those colorful colors instead of white and black for the flowers to pop up , she wasn't aiming for a depressed photo . In the background there is an industrial truck shipping goods out , also the lady having a good time walking to her friend’s house . In the image shows her jumping in a heroic way to give flowers to a person she loves .

The image depicts a woman levitating in the middle of a road. She is holding a couple of flowers and is dressed in an orange dress and a navy shirt. The colors include a bright orange, yellow, green, and magenta in order to make the subject stand out from the plain colors around her.

This is a composite image of the photographer supposedly levitating with flowers in her hand. She is in the middle of the street and it appears as if she tripped while running with the flowers in her hand. Seeing the lighting of the photo, it can be concluded that the image was taken during the day with optimal, but not too much sunlight. In the image, there is a person that appears to be walking towards the camera. There also is a truck that is behind the photographer that is blocked by her body but is still seen and it appears it is sitting still. 11/17/2019 08:56:10 pm
The image is of a woman levitating in the air presenting three flowers in her hand. The background shows a neighborhood and more houses in the distance. The woman is dressed casually as if getting ready to go on a date. The image is bright and colorful. The woman’s clothing and flowers pop out of the image. The focus is also on her while everything else is blurred.

In self portraits done by Japanese artist Natsumi Hayashi, she likes to incorporate the theme of levitation. This particular image is a prime example of this since it displays herself seemingly floating off the ground whilst holding flowers. The setting this photo happens to take place in appears to be a traditional Japanese suburban town. The background is nearly completely obstructed with homes and businesses that are resting on a hill. Although the presence of greenery is hinted towards, the majority of the picture uses quite industrial colors. The lighting in this image is quite good since it is midday.

This image by Natsumi Hayashi is of herself in a street falling while holding flowers. There are green bushes, green trees, green plants, a red umbrella, red flowers, red roofs, red skirts, yellow flowers, yellow houses, white houses, a blue car, and a white truck. These colors are just everyday colors you see in a city. There is natural daylight. There are houses, cars and people in the image. The houses are yellow and white with grey or red roods and one roof is blue. The cars are white and there is one blue car and they are all trucks. The woman in the image is wearing a red skirt and a navy blue shirt and the person in the background is using a red umbrella with white pants and a black shirt. The woman in a red skirt is falling in a street while holding pink, red, and yellow flowers and looking forward with both her feet in the air. The Image is pleasing to look at because of the simplicity. The point of view is from a bystander looking from the outside in. There is a shallow depth of field being used to capture the image and the woman is in focus and the background is out of focus. The subject is being framed by the street because she is in the middle of and there is nothing next to her. The lines form a box around her and guide us to look towards the center. There is some extra space in the top of the image with the out of focus background. The image crops off house to the sides and a hill towards the top of the image. Comments are closed.
