The Falling Photographer

Don't want to guess why, but photographer Kerry Skarbakka likes to stage pictures of people losing balance or in precarious positions.

With the 'Shower' scene I built the set in my studio and even sent running water through the pipes. Ultimately, this was a very difficult image to make as I had to use my body as sort of a human cantilever. I attached a rope around my waist and repeatedly threw my legs out from underneath myself, flipping completely over. It was one of the most uncomfortable shots I've ever made, giving me one of the worst headaches ever from hitting my head so many times on the side of that bathtub.
