Like many new mothers, former Daily Beast contributor and professional photographer Rachel Hulin started photographing her son Henry from the moment he was born. When Hulin discovered that Henry took great delight in being held and ‘flown’, she started shooting his aerial adventures…and soon the photo project “Flying Henry” was born.

Hulin’s technique requires impeccable timing and some post-production tricks. From ClampArt:

…she would anchor the camera to a tripod and shoot pictures on a timer while she held the infant overhead. Other times her husband would stand in to elevate their son. The sessions were typically just five frames in duration before Henry lost interest. Then, back at the computer, Hulin digitally eliminated the adults in the images making it appear as though Henry were in magical flight.

While the beautiful photographs evoke a quiet magic, they loudly remind us of the power of discovering the world for the first time.

ClampArt will be hosting Hulin’s first New York solo show, from July 25 – September 7, 2013. The book “Flying Henry”, published by powerHouse Books is on sale now.
