After six momentous leaps from a small aircraft, skydiver Gabriel C. Brown completed his mission. Brown is friends with astrophotographer and now, also one of his collaborators. Together, the pair created a stunning image that shows the adventurous subject falling in front of the sun.
McCarthy is known for his incredible patience and planning, which has led him to capture an array of detailing cosmic phenomena. This most recent piece, titled “The Fall of Icarus,” details the roiling, fiery surface of the sun with his friend’s upside-down silhouette. The pair undertook this project this past weekend in Arizona.
Like much of his work, this image is a composite that stitches together a collection of high-resolution captures. McCarthy and Brown had to coordinate the jump and subsequent shots to reveal the latter’s free fall, footage of which they share on .
“The Fall of Icarus” is available as in McCarthy’s shop, where you can find more of his work. (via )
