Photo Challenge Week 14. 2025: Levitation

Photo Challenge Week 14. 2025: Levitation

You have 7 days to capture the illusion of something levitating—an object, person, or anything else that appears to float in midair.

Levitation photography might look complicated, but it can be as simple as jumping in the air on a sunny day (you can easily use your phone with this technique as well!) You can go the in-camera route—catching a jump at just the right moment—or explore compositing techniques, where you shoot multiple frames and layer mask things OUT in post. A simple chair or stand can be edited out if you plan carefully. If you’re trying the in-camera approach, using burst mode or a faster shutter speed can help you catch the perfect “float.”
