Did you know there are entire competitions devoted to rabbit jumping in Europe? It’s called Rabbit Dressage, and it’s adorable.

Philipe Halsman gained renown for asking his subjects—be they dignitaries, celebrities or royalty—to jump at the end of a formal photo session, often gaining a glimpse into the goofy, lighthearted personas that they normally kept tucked behind their public façades. Here, Halsman joins Marilyn Monroe for a little leap.

I’ll never forget watching in awe the “clavadistas” outside of Acapulco, Mexico as a child. The dive is in such a tight, rocky channel that they must time their jump with the incoming waves so there is enough depth to not hit bottom!

Did anyone do it better? Yeah. I don’t think so.

Natsumi’s levitating portraits take “jumping photos” to a whole new level.
