Make your subject defy gravity! In this one-hour class, photographer Ian Norman shares a simple technique for shooting magical, dreamlike levitation portraits.

This class will push both your photography skills and creative instincts. When you have the intention of creating something surreal, all the constraints and bounds on your creativity are loosened. The entire experience — from planning to set up to shooting to processing — is a slow and methodical creative endeavor.

The video lessons share a start-to-finish creative method for creating a portrait scene with a subject levitating among a flock of flying objects.

You’ll learn how to

  • optimize your camera settings for this project
  • set up a quick shoot
  • style effective model poses
  • create an array of levitating objects
  • create the “float” effect using Photoshop and Lightroom
