Ethereal Floating Female Photography

The Bence Bakonyi 'Floating Series' Suspends Reality & People

— March 4, 2013 — Art & Design
These ethereal captures from Hungarian photographer Bence Bakony are other-worldly.

The images feature women in billowing dresses rising weightlessly into the air in a series of lavish and opulent Victorian style buildings. Some other captures show a man in a black suit being caught off guard as he floats towards a staircase. The elegance of the women and men captured in these suspended reality photographs is enchanting.

These images entitled 'Floating' indicate the popular style of floating and levitation photography in China and the middle east. Photographers like to take pictures of people floating without using camera editing or Photoshop. Photographers have been known to get creative to achieve their shots, some even get the subjects to jump into mid air. Bence Bakony says his subjects "seem to be floating in a surreal freedom of their own making."
Trend Themes
1. Floating Photography - There is an opportunity for camera manufacturers to develop new accessories that allow photographers to capture floating shots more easily.
2. Suspended Reality Photography - There is an opportunity for art and photography schools to develop courses teaching artists and photographers how to capture and create suspended reality shots that are visually stunning.
3. Ethereal Imagery - There is an opportunity for stock photo and video websites to curate more collections of ethereal imagery, catering to the growing demand for magical and enchanting content.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Photography studios and freelancers can offer suspended reality and floating photography packages for weddings, events, and other types of shoots.
2. Fashion - Fashion designers and brands can incorporate the ethereal and weightless look of floating photography into their marketing campaigns and runway shows.
3. Interior Design - Interior design firms and home decor brands can use floating photography prints and artwork in their projects to add a touch of whimsy and fantasy to any space.
