Gravity-Defying Shots Created Using a Featureless Room
For its 2010 lookbook, Swedish fashion brand Courtrai Apparel created some gravity-defying shots of a guy floating in a featureless room. Rather than use fancy computer trickery, they used the same perspective trick as the Carl Kleiner project we shared a couple days ago.
Once you realize that the wall on the left is actually “down”, the photographs stop becoming disorienting and start making more sense.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes video showing how the project was done:
The photographs were used in diptychs, with the other halves showing a closeup view of the shirts being worn. You can find a couple more photos from this series over on Facebook.
