Natsumi Hayashi Adores To Levitate!

Natsumi Hayashi adores to levitate!

This young girl from Japan really loves to levitate and you can see that from her incredible and really unique photographs in lots of places such as parks and metro stations around Tokyo!

Natsumi Hayashi one day decided to take self-portraits while levitating! With all of her equipment, she goes to places in and around Tokyo and pushes the button in order to take a unique photograph of herself levitating! The result is really natural and her pictures are fresh and amazing like she is really levitating every single moment of her life.

When she was asked how other people around her react while she is taking these photographs she answers with a really funny story : ” One day, when I was jumping at a famous sightseeing spot in western Tokyo, workers at a souvenir shop were frightened by how I was jumping. They were whispering things like ‘Is the girl mentally ill’ and ‘Do we need to call the policε? So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, ‘I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party’s slide show.’ Their faces turned bright red, and they said things like ‘Oh dear!’ and ‘Congratulations!  and even ‘Keep jumping! Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series.”

Everytime she is asked why she continues these photo-series she says : ” We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth’s gravity. So, I hope that people feel something like an instant release from their stressful days by seeing my levitation photos.”
