The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. Natsumi has a way of making us feel as though she naturally levitates throughout life. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website

Sweet and Sexually Charged Photography (20 photos) Originally from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Carlos Nunez is an LA-based photographer whose gorgeous shots can easily range from sweet and demure to downright sexy. You can tell that he has that rare ability to put his models at ease, making them feel free to express themselves and show us a side to them few people ever get to see. Take a look at Nunez's blog and you'll see shots we can't necessarily feature here on My Modern Met (in other words, NSFW). I was able to get in touch with the elusive Nunez to ask him a few questions. Q: Can you give us a little background about how you got started in photography? Q: How would you describe your style? Q: What are some of your secret to getting such sexy shots? Q: Which photographers do you admire? Q: Can you give us some tips for aspiring photographers? Q: Any quotes you live by? No matter how much shit is thrown at you, know that right around the next corner something epic is going to happen. Carlos Nunez

Wonderfully offbeat and somewhat quirky, they truly span the spectrum. As he tells us, "I'm battling with two different ways of working and I don't know which one I prefer. I think most people follow my work and blog for the more quirky, interestingly processed and sometimes a bit 'cliché vintage' photographs. They're accessible to a wider audience, they don't require a lot of explanation and invite people to make their own assumptions and construct their own meanings." He continues, "Then there's the other side of my work that I think I've only really just begun to explore. I asked Bradley to share the story behind the man and the wolf photo we featured a few days ago (see above). "In all honesty I wasn't happy with the project as a whole, but I got three of my strongest and most popular photographs out of it. Samuel Bradley This post is presented by: optea-referencement

The Other Me In 2008, fresh out of high school, Karla Read picked up a hobby that would ultimately change the course of her life. After seeing a friend’s blog, she was not just inspired to create one of her own, she decided that she would make her own portfolio. One thing led to another and she ended up moving from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic to Buenos Aires, Argentina so that she could pursue her passion. She rigorously studied photography and, ultimately, was able to make a career out of it. Her beautiful photography carries a sense of nostalgia, and tells stories about a woman's longing to be different, young and free. Karla Read's blog via [Ben Trovato]
