Photographer Rachel Hulin’s shots of her ‘flying’ son Henry. Now, wait, before you call social services:
If you’re worried about Henry’s safety, you’ll be relieved to find out that he’s not in any real danger. “I never throw him, and I never move him into a place in the frame that he wasn’t in to begin with,” Hulin said. “I like Henry to fly the way he feels like it, I never pose him in a specific way. Sometimes he’s graceful and sometimes he’s a little hunchback.
“Everyone is very interested in how Henry flies, but it’s really quite straightforward. I’m not sure if telling you exactly makes it less magical, but yes, Photoshop is involved, but only slightly. He never gets tossed. The frame you see is very close to the original picture, Henry just has no assistance in the final shot.”
