While levitation photography is nothing new, Taiwanese-French-American photographer Mickael Jou's self-portraits of himself leaping through the air are exceptionally elegant feats of movement and grace. For the past three years, the Berlin-based creative has united his two passions—photography and dance—by capturing stunning images of his own nimble motions frozen in time.
Like Japanese photographer Natsumi Hayashi, Jou injects a sense of wonder into everyday settings like the grocery store or a busy street intersection. As scenes of daily life unfold around him, Jou executes perfect leaps and pirouettes that give him the appearance of flying.
