My daughter and I had a great time yesterday doing some levitation photos. Fun way to cure some boredom!

I like it. Very interested in how you did it. 🤔

I've been guessing, She jumped on the bed, she was standing on one foot against a wall, she was laying on a table, probably not, really not sure.

Wow if you can levitate your daughter that is a rare skill indeed! Can you teach me how to levitate?  😅

The alien is a very nice touch. Very creative!

Thanks, everyone. This is pretty simple to do. Just two layers in Photoshop. Take one photo of your subject and the props, then remove them and take a picture of just the background (camera on a tripod and don't move it between shots). Apply a layer mask to the layer with your subject and just brush out the props they're standing on. Since you can't get Aliens anywhere now, I had to look for one on the internet. :) I'm including the "before" shot so you can see what I removed, and also a few others we took yesterday. Fun project if you're bored or need to entertain the kids and grandkids.

Forgot to include the background photo for the alien picture. Notice she didn't bother cleaning up her room much for the photo shoot. lol

Amazing how simple by using "props" to prop her up! Thanks so much.
