Objective: Learn about pre-production work in planning a creative photo shoot, taking the planned photos, and editing them. Also, learn how to use layer masks in Photoshop.
What is due? 1 levitation photo completed in class, which is made up of at least two photos (subject and then background).
A great set of instructions can be found here for taking the photos and editing them. We are doing the levitation photos that involves using a stool or box on which to rest the subject. Use a tripod and manual mode. After you focus on the subject, switch the lens to manual focus. You'll take one photo of the subject resting on the support (i.e. stool), then remove the support and subject and photograph the environment without changing any settings.
The video below shows how to do the Photoshop steps to combine the two images.
