Levitation Photography is a kind of trick photography where some elements or the subject seems to be defying gravity and will look like they are floating. It may look like a tricky and difficult form of photography, but these photographs can be easily created by capturing a set of images using a tripod and then using layer masking to get the final results.
Levitation photography can be done with humans as subjects or other still life objects and even food. You need to use the camera on a tripod and balance the model on some support, furniture or if still life objects, you can make use of stands and strings to suspend them. Take a photo. Now remove the levitating subject/s, objects in the scene and take another photo of the background alone. Then remove the stands, furniture or strings used to position/suspend the subject or objects and you have a levitation photograph.
