About Flying in Dreams Primary Function: Litrato sa Paglutaw

Ang Flying in Dreams usa ka serye sa litrato nga gimugna gamit ang teknik sa levitation photography. Gipakita sa serye ang mga bata nga nagsul-ob og puti nga sinina nga daw naglutaw sa ibabaw sa yuta. Ang matag hulagway gilangkob gikan sa duha o daghan pang mga frame nga gikuha gikan sa samang anggulo, uban ug wala ang subject. Ang frame nga walay subject gigamit aron kuhaon ang mga suporta nga naghawid sa matag postura. Ang serye gihimo pinaagi sa pagpangita og lokasyon, paghimo og sinina, pagplano sa postura ug mga props, pag-set up sa suga, pagkuha og litrato ug digital nga pag-edit. Ang tuyo mao ang pagpahayag sa kaputli sa mga damgo sa pagkabata.

Unique Properties: In the "Flying in Dreams" series, the photographer is using the levitation photography technique to create a surreal effect and perform the main idea. As a rule, the creative process involves composing two or more shots of a scene taken from the same angle: with and without a subject. The image without a subject is used to mask out all unnecessary elements that were used to support a subject in a certain pose. Images compositing is an integral part of this method.
Dimensions & Packaging: Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon EF 24-70 mm F2.8 lens, Canon Speedlite 600EX II, tripod, PC with Adobe Photoshop

Production Technology: The creative process included such stages as location scouting, making outfits, poses and props planning, lighting setup, shooting, and post-processing.
Design Challenge: Levitation photography requires more preparation and post-processing than just documentary photography. It’s necessary to carefully execute the shoot for easier editing and better results. "Although working with kids was fun, posing, and their support was energy- and time-consuming", said Maxim Zinchuk.
Research: The research was made during the preparation stage. It involved landscape scouting and evaluating the readiness of children to perform in certain settings. A shooting place had to be easily accessible and safe to everyone involved in the process.
Inspiration: People always dream. Dreams make us move forward. Where they will lead us to depend on our imagination and the efforts we enclose. In childhood, these dreams are usually purer and brighter. That is why the photographer uses children's characters in white outfits in his series. The idea is perfectly complemented by the words of William Shakespeare: "all things that are, are with more spirit chased than enjoyed".
Project Duration: This work was made in 2016-2017 in Ontario, Canada. Published on social media and personal website of the photographer.
Operation Flow: Good planning and right communication are key to a smooth workflow during a levitation photography shoot. Having a plan for every single photoshoot was helpful in terms of overcoming unforeseen situations.
