Not the floaters you get in your eye when you’ve looked at the sun too long, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you racked this up to that. This is a photographic series of images collected with camera by photographer Denis Darzacq. It’s called “Hyper” and is a collection of 19 images of people… shopping?

Each of these images is a high-shutter-speed photographed moment in time. Darzecq picked the excellence of a grocery store for the environment and people who were good at jumping around for the subjects. If there were no gravity for humans, but gravity indeed for objects otherwise, this is what shopping would be like.

Make no mistake.

Each of these photos is being displayed at Exposition personnelle: Laurence Miller gallery, New-York, 2010. Contact them if you’re so hard into these that you must own one. Buy a really big print and put it in the grocery store that you actually own. Intensity!

Each of these photos were part of an extended series that one can only assume is ongoing forever, because who could stop such a fun series once it’s started? All you need is people to leap!

Or people who are able to levitate quite well.

    It’s not a difficult feat to executed….I suspect it to be a composite of the environment and the floating people and finally a simple photoshop effort. I doubt all the shots are high speed since a lot of ambient lighting is there, rendering the usage of high shutter speed impossible.

    However, overall it’s a nice and visually interesting photography.
