Yowayowa, also known as Natsumi Hayashi, is a Japanese photographer. She mainly photographs levitating self-portraits, she lives with her two cats which she sometimes includes in her photos. Yowayowa uses a self timer and tripod to capture herself levitating. She especially chooses to use backgrounds that you would see in your everyday life, she objects in her images to make them seem more normal, which contrasts with the fact that she's levitating. Yowayowa trains her body especially to be able to make her arms and legs go into these positions, she uses a shutter speed of 1/500th of a second or faster.

Light Painting Michael Bosanko
Light painting photographer Michael Bosanko has been capturing light since 2004. He had discovered light painting by accident , Michael says this of his moment of discovery, "the moon formed part of the scene but the camera shake caused the moon to make a streak. My curious mind clipped the camera from the tripod and, hand held, I attempted to write my partners name using nothing but the moonshine and the movement of the camera in my hand, and I had success. As soon as I returned home, I adopted the same principles but with torches, and I've been hooked ever since". Ever since then Micheal has had great succes with light painting photography, he has created images for several commercial clients and been published in numerous magazines.
