I'm really impressed, what a great demonstration of motion
at such a perfectly predestinated place apparently made
for a magical shooting like yours !

I have a soft spot for energetic movement images with a soft side

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. This kind of photography requires a lot of my thoughts and feelings and go widely unnoticed each time, except for you...

I also must add - how gorgeous those textures in the photo are!! (Another soft spot of mine...)

Yes! And she's getting better at it... I'm almost scared when I take the photographs now! And everyone else than you thinks it's some crazy Photoshop thing but how? Never! Damn... What will she do next?

Freeze time mid-jump while a camera pans around her before delivering a brutal karate kick to someone's chin?

Well no, cause that's what she did FIRST you see. It's how it all started and now she's just dodging imaginary bullet trains!

G. needs to slow down or she'll run out of ways to amaze us... or maybe not?

I'll tell you that when we come back from Japan, but I fear that the most amazing is still ahead of us...

Fantastic light, textures and movement, indeed there are many layers and levels in it!

Wow! At first I have not realised the room where the woman stands in. I just looked at the person an was faszinated by her movement. After that I realised the concept of the room. The ground has its focus on the next room and so the next. The wall has a quite unique structure. Moreover, I see that the person seems to be like a ghost because the structure of the ground comes through the legs and the dress. All in all: A mystical image with its own spirit!

You have a sharp eye!
Thank you for your kind and interesting comment...

At first it seemed quite avant-garde yet looking into its form it isn't, but that does not detract from a wonderfully discrete incongruity. From early photography in the nineteenth century photographers have explored this technique. I love it! I congratulate you.

Thank you for your comment. I was wondering, while reading it: what did you think you saw at first that would have been "avant-garde"? How did the form make you change your perspective? I'm not familiar so I'd love to read more about this...
And yes, it was fun playing with movement capture and transparence in an old fashion way but with digital tools. Most of all, it was interesting to explore the feeling of comfort and yet abandon of the place. Thank you for your interesting comment, it also triggers ideas!

Thought initially some vector drawing had been combined elongating and distorting the body. This would be avant-garde for me.
Your use of manipulating the perspective with the same doorway, then a wall completes the picture so well. I even thought the room never existed, but I guess it does. The girl may not have been anywhere near the hacienda, but none of it matters. The final picture is captivating.
I admire your work greatly.

I understand! Yes, the girl (my wife, actually...) was in the hacienda. It's the same as "Daydreamer" (the photo on my DA page) but... Well, it's a combination of many shots so I could play with movement, transparency and light by working the layers and each zone of the photograph separately.
It happens that I use vector drawing on my photos, but it's like HDR: I don't like it to show too much...
Thank you very much for this nice and very complete return, I'm very touched by your final statement. It's never meant for this, but it's always comforting to read...

that is one fantastic location - I love that room! Where did you do your shoot?

In the same abandoned hacienda in Mexico where we shot "The Daydreamer", but another room. The place was huge and quite amazing actually... So we inspired from each room to do different type of shots! Photographer's dream really...
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoy this
