Mr. Poppins – Self Portrait
Shot with 1 sb25 at 1/2 power bare in front of the subjects. I underexposed the background to give it a saturated look.
I ran and jumped off the hill toward the flash with the umbrella open to give the illusion that I was taking off and flying.
All about the timing of the jump.

Erik,
At first glance this image reminds me of the old saying told in lighting workshops where photographer’s would undoubtedly face from curbside critics, particularly when working with umbrella(s) and lights on location:
“Hey, What’s with the umbrella(s)? Expecting rain…?”
Photographers certainly don’t ask pedestrians toting an umbrella if they’re “Expecting photography…?
I also thought the umbrella you’re holding is a silver lined umbrella and you just added the handle. Perhaps it is…?
Nice work.
