Series Project Draft 2







In this set of photo's I am trying to mimic the style of conceptual portraiture done by Natsumi Hayashi. Natsumi Hayashi is amazed with the perception of time. She started taking pictures of people levitating in her photos because to her it made it seem as though time had slowed down in the frame. I tried to mimic her style by using less colorful backgrounds to make it so my models who are levitating stand out more. I also tried to make my series as similar as i could to Natsumi's photos by using similar backgrounds such as the man levitating next to the parking meter.

  1. Good job Josh. You did an especially good job clearly describing who you're influenced by and what you're attempting to emulate. I think the fourth shot is really strong, because there are other elements outside of just levitation.

  2. These pictures are really interesting. I like your second photo because Max is doing something and levitating. In your other photos, he is just sort of there levitating. I think you should incorporate some more actions in your next draft.

  3. I think that the shots of Max doing an everyday activity while levitating adds to the realistic quality of the photo. I think this is something you should consider and capitalize on.

  6. Nice photos Josh. I think you definitely expanded off of your first draft and your progress most definitely shows in this series. I especially like your second photo because I think it depicts your photographers work the best. The placement and clarity of the photo makes it seem very realistic and intriguing.

  7. You really succeeded in capturing moments that look normal while the subject is levitating. I particularly like the mailbox picture because it looks very natural.
