the flying photographer (preview)
Added 2021-03-02 15:14:35 +0000 UTCHere's a preview of how these images look in color.
I called this series for patrons of Power-level this way because I also shot some images inside the bathroom from above - it looks as if I had to fly to take those photos and actually I was asked many times how I did it.
Actually it was quite complicated, especially for the light in this small space and to put the flashes in a way that they wouldn't be seen in the images and that I, while taking the pictures, would not throw a shadow on the beauty on the floor.
For the flying images (there is also one in the black-and-white series accessible for patrons of Signal-level) I stood on the washbasin (yes, it was strong enough, but I also had some kilos less then...) with wide spread legs and the feet turned aside in Charly Chaplin manner so that they wouldn't appear in the photos.
I shot them with an extreme wide angle lens what on one hand made it even more complicated to not be in the image (I remember I had to take some really strange positions while trying to keep the balance and not fall an the wonderful young woman below me, what maybe for me would have been nice, but not so much for her, I guess...), and on the other hand I had to control the angle so that there were no distortions in the marvelous body of the model.
(As you can see in this preview image, when looking at her foot, the wide angle lens distorts the shapes heavily. One can and does use it often to make legs longer, but as you see, feet also get longer, of course, and if you don't take care, it can look really terrible).
