Flying in Dreams is a photography series created with the levitation photography technique. The series shows children in white outfits appearing to float above the ground. Each image is composed from two or more frames taken from the same angle, with and without the subject. The frame without the subject is used to remove the supports that held each pose. The series was produced through location scouting, outfit making, pose and prop planning, lighting setup, shooting and digital editing. The intent is to express the purity of childhood dreams.
