Floating People Photographs

Recently I have been fascinated by photographs of people that look like they are either "floating" "levitating" and defying gravity. I've been digging a little deep to find out the exact technique for taking pictures like this. I have seen a few tutorials and in Flickr I've also been readin a little bit of photoshop mods with the cloning tool. I really want to get to the bottom of this technique. I think it is awesome.

Just one problem, some of these photographs you can clearly see they are just jumping, some are also jumping but it doesnt seem like it and others use a small stool to chair and remove it with photoshop. Can anyone share or point out where I can learn these techniques? Here are some samples of the photos I am talking about with the proper link credit to the people @ Flickr.

In this following photograph you can see they are clearly jumping....anyone can capture this moment. No secret there. Good picture though:

As you can see, these photos are very impresive....to the person that doesn't know the method. But if no one helps me with this, I will figure it out. Kudos to the Photographers that were able to pull this off! I love it!!

Playboy Cover Questions and Answers

Recently I was contacted on my myspace page and asked if I could do a playboy cover for someone. I politely declined. I would love to be able to help people make a cover but I just don't have the time for individual requests. I know that photoshop is a very expensive program but you can always get photoshop elements. It's about 89 bucks (shop around online, I'm sure you can get it even cheaper)

Don't think for one minute that photoshop is complicated. It's not. You make a layer and you work with it. It's almost like using paint but with premium tools. I have already provided for you the psd file. The rest is up to you. I won't lie, there is a slight learning curve but once you get started in photoshop it's all downhill from there. Don't be scared to try it out. Once you learn it you will wonder what was really so hard about it!

Look at the Amazon widget on the left hand column. They have both Photoshop Elements for Windows and Mac. Very excellent products.
