Purpose:
To learn how Levitation is being used in the world of photography;
To make connections from levitation to real-world uses;
To create levitation photographs inspired by other amateur and professional photographers.
Final Images:
I looked at the different poses and situations that the subject was in and how the photographer chose to shoot the photo. I also considered the lighting and how they chose to color grade them. I especially liked the photos that looked less set up, and more like everyday life.
For most of my images, I used a stool to “levitate” myself off the ground and then took multiple images from the same place with and without the subject, so I had images of just the background as well, so when I got rid of the stool, the background filled the space. I liked having a light source that framed the subject, and at least one prop in the image.\
I would add more interest in the foreground of my image of Erin, to make it more interesting, but other than that I like how the light frames her, and how the book adds more interest to the image and adds a backstory to the picture.
Levitation: Rising or causing something to rise and hover in the air.
Paranormal: Events that are beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding.
To create a successful levitation photograph, you need to remember to make sure the pose is realistic so that people don't think it's silly-looking. Secondly, you need to make sure that it isn't obvious what's holding you up when you edit the photograph, this means posing so it doesn't look like you're sitting or standing on something. Third, you need to make sure you use a bunch of photos for one shot, this includes the background with and without your subject, and making sure the camera doesn't move at all while you're shooting the images.
Some ideas for levitation photography are having other things floating, not just my subject.
