About Flying in Dreams Grianghrafadóireacht Foluaineachta

Sraith grianghrafadóireachta is ea Flying in Dreams a cruthaíodh leis an teicníc grianghrafadóireachta foluaineachta. Léiríonn an tsraith páistí in éidí bána a fheictear ag foluain os cionn na talún. Tá gach íomhá comhdhéanta ó dhá fhráma nó níos mó a tógadh ón uillinn chéanna, leis an ábhar agus dá uireasa. Úsáidtear an fráma gan an t-ábhar chun na tacaí a choinnigh gach staidiúir a bhaint. Táirgeadh an tsraith trí ionaid a bhrath, éidí a dhéanamh, staidiúracha agus áiseanna a phleanáil, an soilsiú a shocrú, an lámhach agus an eagarthóireacht dhigiteach. Is é an aidhm ná íonacht bhrionglóidí na hóige a chur in iúl.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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
Tags: levitation, photography, levitation photography, dreams, flying in dreams
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.
