Lens turned on high art

Natsumi Hayashi never thought her online photos would create such a stir that it would make her an overnight celebrity.

Dubbed "Tokyo's levitating girl", the photos show her suspended in mid-air in various settings, including a crowded road and a subway station.

Although she has been taking such photos for two years and posting them on her blog, yowayowacamera.com, it's only since December that she has been updating them every day. And that has certainly caught the attention of netizens.
