My next research is about a very original french photographer who published a really nice levitation photography collection.
Franck Bohbot is a photographer specializes in photographing public spaces, street scenes, and environmental portraits. He is a documentarian with an eye for the theatrical who found his way to photography by way of cinema. Bohbot’s work inhabits a space between reality and fantasy, documenting and storytelling. I really appreciated the 2007’s Levitation collection where he focus on this particular photographic technique. I love the surreal touch that the apparent lack of gravity gives to the pictures. I really like how the daily situation that he captures are enriched by the levitation effect which makes subjects look like superheroes. I think that this technique could help me representing the relationship between objects and gravity as it allows me to make things float in the air like if there was no gravity.

I also find the way that he uses colors very interesting, his pictures have a kind of retrò look which I really like. Colors are usually soft and even the black and white is not too harsh and gives a very light feeling to the pictures. I'm really excited to be able to try another technique and don't stop my pursuit for the perfect shot.
