Smile File-The Levitating Girl

Um, I got a little obsessed with flipping through Natsumi Hayashi’s website. This gorgeous girl is making herself levitate through images.

In an interview with MY MODERN MET when asked why she took on this series Hayashi says,

“We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth’s gravity…So, I hope that people feel something like an instant release from their stressful days by seeing my levitation photos.” (source)

How sweet is that? I think her images are really stunning. I love how relaxed Hayashi keeps her face and body…it makes it seem like she’s just floating around Tokyo, completely levitating.

All these images are from Hayashi’s website HERE, go get yourself lost there for a bit :).

    this is soooo cool! I wouldn’t even know where to begin! I agree though that her soft face and posture make it look so easy breezy like it’s just the way she gets around. I really like the concept of this series and I think she nailed it! The last photo is my favorite, I love the chalk wall!

    I used to dream of levitating if I’d do a massive amount of yoga. This girl is incredible! I’m not certain which one is my favourite, perhaps all of them, but definitely the pink leaves & pack image, and the subway station… such a normal look captured.

    *Miss you dear. Hope you have a glorious Monday! Yes, there is such a thing, I swear it happens. lol -xo 🙂
