Defy gravity
Do NOT try to defy gravity this way at home (or any place else)!

This is one of the photos from Borut Peterlin’s Creative Editorial Portraits collection – almost impossible not to memorize.
Iztok Kovač from the photograph above is a Slovenian contemporary dancer. While dancing, he looks like he can defy gravity. For a movie Vrtoglavi pticy (Dizzy Bird) he danced on a 360 m (1,181 feet) high chimney. One would think that after that, flying down the case of stairs wasn’t too big of a deal…
On a serious note, I never got to ask Borut how he did this shot.

Dancing has never been this extreme. Thanks for sharing.
It feels like he’s about to fall on my face. Takes serious talent from the subject and photographer to capture from this sort of angle and speed. I wonder how many takes there were before they got this heart-stopping result…and how much pain.
