So my idea for this first assignment had something to do with gravity, levitation and freedom.
Long time ago I was inspired by this Japanese girl named Natsumi Hayashi who does levitation photos and they are amazing. Check out her website. After seeing her photos I always wanted to do something like that.
I called my friend Gonzalo to assist me with this assignment. Unfortunately I made this shoot happen around 5:30pm and here in FL it starts getting dark around 6-630pm so instead of doing this by myself with a tripod which was my first idea I asked Gonzalo to take the photo for me.
Let me tell you that trying to jump and look natural it's not easy, but we made it happen.
The next day I found out that my assignment wasn't due until two days after and so I had a little bit of more time for this assignment. So I though maybe I can give this assignment another try and do another idea that I had. My other idea involved two people a boy and girl and it had to do with love, search and being able to find that special person. I still wanted to do something that involved levitation. After calling a bunch of my friends I couldn't find anyone available to play the main two characters, so I figured why not play in my own story.? But I still needed to find the boy who was gonna play my lost lover. I asked the one person who doesn't like taking pictures and every time I do take a picture he argues. That person is my boyfriend. Took me a little while to convinced him, but he still did it. I also called my friend Gonzalo to take the picture just like a couple of days before because it was already a bit late and by the time I would set up and practice the jumps it would have been dark already.
I really enjoyed doing this photo shoot and more fun doing it with the person I love. I felt more in character trying to reach for him.
