Hey, guys! This blog will focus mainly on art/artists of Japan, with some entertaining snip-its of culture and language, too! I love to include language information with my posts. I will try to update this more than once a week if I have time. I have a list of favourite artists that I've accumulated over time, so I have plenty to talk about here!
I noticed that many people in our class wanted to hear about photography, so I thought I'd start off my blog with a photographer. Today's post will be about the photographer Natsumi Hayashi. (林ナツミ）

The images are not altered to give this appearance. She does this by setting up a tripod and self-timer, and jumping repeatedly until she gets the right shot. More information on how she does it and what equipment she uses can be found on her website in both English and Japanese.

Very interesting photos and specially the technique she uses. I've seen a lot of FAIL pictures of girls trying to this using point and shoot camera and for a moment I thought she was using green screen.
ReplyDeleteWith newer DLSR cameras and faster shutters I can see this becoming a trend.
Good choice.

ReplyDeleteThese photographs reminds me of images I saw in the contemporary arts museum about four or so years ago. This was the first introduction for me to the use of photoshop.
