My "Dreams Of Flying" Photos

"Handstand"

The inspiration for this photograph is simple, being able to do something you never could before, because, to me that is what Jan von Holleben's "Dreams Of Flying" is all about. Because there are no props for this image, it was very easy to capture. The only challenge was finding something to do the handstand on, but still being able to take the picture from above. In photoshop, I cropped the image,  adjusted the Hue, Saturation, Contrast, and the Shadows/Highlights.

"Falling Off Chair"

My goal for this photograph was to show a humorous, yet common incident in our lives. To compose this image I positioned a plastic chair on the ground, so it looked like it was tipping over backwards over the floor (red stripe). Then, Evan sat in the chair, leaned back as if he was falling, and raised his arms as if he was trying to catch the can of pop. In photoshop, I cropped the image so there wasn't any large, vacant areas around the edges of the photo. Then, I lightened the image, and adjusted the contrast. 

"Diving Catch"

To me this, photograph fits perfectly into "Dreams Of Flying." This is because, it depicts a dream of many people, which is playing their favourite sport in a top league, and to make a big play. The only prop for this image was in fact, the football, meaning that this image was quite easy to create. All I did, was place the football on the ground, in a way to make it look like it had been thrown, and I had Evan lie on the ground to, as if he was catching the ball. In photoshop, I cropped the image to hide any other objects. Then, I adjusted the Hue and Saturation to my liking.
