Levitation

We were assigned to take pictures of our partners "floating". We had to take two pictures one with the person in it and the other without, but both had to look identical.

This is the before image.

This is how she looked before editing.

To take my levitation pictures I had to use a tripod to have a steady camera, our class cameras, a chair to stand on, an umbrella, a cart to lay on, and a ladder to lay our feet on.

This is the cart we used to lay on.

And the ladder we used to lay our feet.

When taking these pictures I remembered I had to take the pictures from a lower POV so it wouldn't look like my partner was laying or sitting on the floor. The expressions were also very important, if not acting correctly the illusion would be missed.

I'd fix this by shooting lower.

Here she looks like she standing, so I'd shoot lower.

Honestly, most of my pictures looked like my partner was just sitting or standing on the ground taking away from the illusion of floating. Sometimes the pictures of the pictures didn't align correctly and fixing it was hard and if you look closely at the background you can spot the difference.

I took these pictures and the didn't match so it was hard to fix.

Next time I would shot from a lower point then I was so it would look like they were floating, I'd also ask for help more frequently because I didn't know how to make the picture better sometimes. And I'd also get better inspo pictures so I'd have more ideas.

These were some of the best pictures I took with Mr. Phun's help.
