2.3 Levitation

target
Objective

Tell a story while practicing photo compositing.

Create a story prompt that includes the levitation of a person. You may use ChatGPT. Then choose the model(s), clothing, props, and location.
Use a tripod to take photos of your “empty” scene and then your models(s) on an object that safely raises them from the ground. 

Open your favorite empty photo and model photo in Photoshop. Stack them as layers and align them perfectly. Add a mask to the top layer and edit as needed to create the levitation illusion. Adding a shadow and other elements like flying papers/birds might be necessary.

Use color and other creative effects to support the story’s scene.

Photoshop: click on File > Export > Export As and select the JPG format.
All exports should have the long edge equal to 2500px.

Upload your photo into a gallery block on your WordPress.com website.
