Minimalist Gravity-Defying Photos Using String and Perspective
Photographer Carl Kleiner, the man behind IKEA’s beautiful baking recipe and kitchen item photographs, has a delightful new series of images that features things neatly arranged in mid-air instead of on a table. More specifically, each of the shots uses simply trickery to make household objects look like they’re floating in a blue room.
Other photographs are upside-down snaps of objects hanging from white string (still visible in the shot), or hanging from objects affixed to the ceiling. When shot with an upside-down camera, these also look like they’re floating upwards.
For similar gravity-defying projects, check out this series of advertisements by Japanese collective NAM, or these creative portraits by French artist Philippe Ramette.
