Dreams of Flying

Photographer Jan Van Holleben has a collection of photographs called Dreams of Flying. This collection is absolutely adorable. Van Holleben uses posed figures lying on solid, flat surfaces, to create the illusion of movement. The juxtaposition of the poses imitating movement on flat surfaces create playful images that evoke a happy feeling. When I look at these pictures, I think of moments when I was a child (and even now) where I let my imagination take me away to something fantastic. Even though I might be sitting on a rock alone, I could imagine that I was standing on the moon searching for life. I love that these photographs remind me of that. Below are some of the photographs I found in the collection that I adore.
