Dreams Of Flying Artist Statement

My inspiration for each of this images came from Von Hollben’s Dreams Of Flying photos. I thought of how cool it would be to fly, or defy gravity and I thought of ideas that would do just that. I took these photos from a bird’s eye view. Each is set on a specific color background and has props to create the scene. I didn’t edit these pictures in any way, besides cropping them and that was only to cut out unneeded area.

Dreams Of  Flying

This picture is taken by Jan von Holleben and it's a part the "Dreams Of Flying" portfolio. The picture is taken from a bird's eye view to make it look as if they are really riding motorcycles. When in reality they are both laying on the ground on their sides. Their bikes are also positioned to make it look as if the were driving on a rocky mountain trail. The trail it self looks as if it could be a grey blanket skilfully laid out to look like a rocky terrain. 

This photo is also a part of the "Dreams Of Flying" portfolio by Jan von Holleben. This photo was taken from above to make it look as if the boy was deep-sea diving when in reality he is laying on a blue tarp on his side. The rocks are placed at the bottom of the picture to look as if they the bottom of the ocean. Some of the plants are also placed on their sides to make it look like he was diving down. The fish are placed to look as if they are swimming by the diver. 

This is another one of Jan von Holleben's photos from the "Dreams of Flying" portfolio. It was taken from above to make it look as if the kid is flying when he is really just posed laying on his side on the ground. The trash cans are placed to look as if they are buildings and he is flying over them when they are just sitting their sides on the concrete. The boy's cape is positioned to look s if it is flying in the wind when its really staying perfectly still.
