These Photos Of A Man Falling Through Space Are Straight Out Of 'The Matrix'

Jul 26, 2021, 12:46 IST

Here you can see Hammonds on a bridge in a photo he's dubbed "Dive." He first became interested in photography while living in South Korea last year, and many of his other photos focus on travel.

Hammonds isn't the only star in these photos — here we can see a woman who looks as though she's about to fall into the water at any second.

For Hammonds, every minute detail is important. He considers lighting, background and wardrobe choices, among other things.

The sharp angles of the bridge make it look particularly dangerous.

He considers the aesthetic he wants to convey and chooses an appropriate location. Whether purposefully or not, some clothing even coordinates with the backdrop and creates a fluid composition.

"Bike Wreck" was a particularly difficult shot for Hammonds to get and involved hours of precise coordination.

His photos incite feelings of nervous anticipation in many viewers — what will happen after the snap of the camera?

"I wanted to try something different by creating a narrative that I could control and manipulate," said Hammonds of his work.

Hammonds has become particularly skilled at keeping his facial expressions placid and emotionless, even as he "falls" through the air.

His explorations indoors have proven to be just as visually interesting.

Ouch.

Some of his photos look like they're straight out of The Matrix.
