Levitation photography is a simple concept of layer masking in Photoshop. To break it down in simple terms, a picture of the scene is taken without any props and models. Later, several pictures are taken with the model and the props by suspending them in air.
ASSIGNMENT:
Create (at least) 2 distinct/unique clone photography scenarios. Be creative and take risks! You must have at least 4 “cloned” people in each of your finished composite images.
You may also create a levitation image and combine with your clone photo or as a separate image.
Have fun. Be creative!
Clone Photography, also known as Multiplicity
is a form of photograph manipulation that uses multiple images of the same person or thing, shot from multiple scenarios and then merged into a single, composite image, using a photo editor.
I took this image of my little boy and “cloned” him playing in our living room. Thank goodness he’s an only child –one boy is exhausting enough!
