'flight sequence' (seven images for project)

Flight sequence was my last shoot for this project. Taking advantage of Marie's gymnastics skills and brave jumps from the children's trampoline was a great chance to take some actions shots. A scary fall, more scary for myself as the photographer saw her get lost in the event and slip, to then crash into the fence, unfortunately this was not filmed. But the end result is elegant, in inspiration to Aaron Siskind's work, the asbsent background outlining the form of the body. A sculptural form capturing that instance in time and space is what I was trying to achieve. I used for this series of shots a pentax W90 on sport setting with multiple frames I was able to take fast shutter speed and many shots to capture the one right composition. Working them into black and white in photoshop and adjusting levels and the hightlights to give a  luminous look.
