Levitation and Levitation Photography

I'm sure some of you have already seen this picture of Jolly Rosa with her super powers on facebook. This is not magic, it is simply called "Levitation Photography". Levitation Photography is one of the hottest thing on the internet right now. What is Levitation Photography?

Levitation Photography means you take of yourself or any other objects levitating in mid air. Levitation photography is not just using Photoshop to make fake pictures, Levitation photography requires technique, patience and the right composure to create the perfect levitating picture.

After planking and leisure diving, NICI-Mania embarks on levitation photography as our latest project. We have already taken pictures of our NICI plush planking and leisure diving but we decided to post pictures of levitation photography first because making our plush fly is just too exciting and our friends have all been curious on how we did it when they saw the pictures.

Milo Gorilla levitating in mid air! Who says levitation is only with David Blaine and Criss Angel, Milo Gorilla can do it too ^_^

Hugo Wolf takes a leap of faith. Do you dare to take yours too?

Last but not least, Hugo Wolf and his owner free falling. We love to see your plush toys do levitation too! We have done a simple tutorial on how to do levitation photography. If you are interested, follow us on our next entry to find out.

    @Anonymous: Hi Jessica!! Thanks for ur wonderful comment! =) Don't worry, our plushies did not fall down for the levitation pictures. We did not use the 'jump' method for our levitation. We did fall down a lot doing 'leisure diving' because we were thrown to the air repeatedly for the shots. We realised it is much easier to do levitation photography on humans than plushies though, hopefully we will improve on our pictures ^_^

    I think you need two people to make these kinds of pictures possible, right? One who 'throws' (excuse me) the sheep, and one that takes the picture.

    But how did you make it that the sheep actually seems to jump? His legs are apart, like he is really jumping, but these kinds of body positions don't happen when you throw them in the air.

    Don't keep us in suspension, tell us, tell us.
    My flock wants to fly as well!
