Starting this project we used a canon camera, a tripod, a stool, a chair, and a laptop to edit the pictures. Some of the cameras setting would differ depending on how much sunlight there is.

A thing we considered is how the poses would be and how the background would look like. We also wondered if we should make the subject far from the camera or close enough to get their entire body. We also had to set the camera's tripod close to ground. The props we used were hula hoops and lanyards. They did end up looking good after editing them in photoshop. What I would do next time is try different poses and use more props. Even though they ended up looking good I still would do those two things just because I know it would end up looking better.

Laying on air

Here I had the subject lay on a chair with his legs up. I had to make sure his left arm wasn't able to be seen because if it was behind the chair, it would make problems when cutting the chair out of the frame so his arm would look like a piece of it is missing.

ISO at 400, f/5.6, and 1/320 second.

Sitting on air

For this picture, I had the subject sit on a stool with his legs crossed and hands together. I made him do that so cropping the stool out the photo would be easy. The pose itself was a good idea. ISO at 400, f/8.0, and 1/400 second.
