Photo 1- Levitation Photography

Objective: Approach photography as a creative and artistic outlet. Have some fun creating dream like “levitation” images.

Task: Work with a partner or tripod and timer and remote to set up the scene, any props necessary, lighting etc. to shoot a levitation photo.

This can be done though fast shutter speed and well considered jumping poses or through using a shot with props to “levitate” your subject and a second shot of the background, that can then be combined to eliminate the props.

Tips:

the pose/posture of the body, drape of clothes and hair etc. are essential for the levitation effect
decide the mood/emotion you intend to portray
the location will impact the mood
consider changing the tones and colors in photoshop

RUBRIC
GOALS OF Levitation Photography Show that a person is clearly “levitating” or mysteriously rising/hovering in the air. Use Photoshop tools to make the photograph look convincing;
COMPOSITION Includes a person(s) that is the focal point of the photograph (in other words, the person is not a minor detail). Background and subject work well together and the levitating person is easily seen; the background does not compete with the message – There is clear contrast between the two.
CRAFTSMANSHIP/PRESENTATION Attention to detail is fabulous Looks “real” not contrived. (Changing the lighting, adding shadows, etc. helps to do this)
CREATIVITY Craftsmanship, using Pixlr/Photoshop, is outstanding and professional looking (erasing, cloning, cutting, pasting, etc. is carefully done); Digital Photo-manipulation is done creatively and realistically Image is put together in a unique and original way.
