Each of the 3 levitation methods was broken up into their own folders, each with 3 to 4 videos conveniently broken up to make following along a bit easier. With the photography and pen tutorials out of the way, it was then time to dig into the Photoshop tutorial segments. For me, this tutorial was worth the entire price of the Phlearn Pro tutorial on its own, so I was excited to move through the rest of the package to see what other techniques I could (ph)learn. Knowing that this might be a barrier of entry into the world of levitation photography, the folks at Phlearn wisely added an excellent tutorial video titled the “Ultimate Pen Tool Guide.” I didn’t have much experience using the tool, but I followed alongside Aaron (since all of the images he uses in all of the video tutorials are included with the download) and cut out a sports car from a background just as he showed in the video. I re-watched the video a second time and I felt that the photography portion of this tutorial was comprehensive enough to answer most every question you would have regarding this technique.Īn extremely important part of this technique is knowing how to use what many call one of the most difficult tools in Photoshop, the pen tool. He also gave a lot of little tips that I definitely would not have thought of had I attempted this on my own. In the photography tutorial video, Aaron breaks down the various methods of achieving the levitation effect, as well as detailing the gear used, and settings (which I found very useful). Having purchased Phlearn tutorials in the past I skimmed through the first video, but it’s definitely a must-watch for those watching these tutorials for the first time. I started off this journey in the most likely place, a folder titled “Start Here.” In it, you’ll find a detailed video explaining how to quickly and easily navigate through all of the other content in the tutorial. There are seperate folders for each of the different levitation techniques, as well as tutorials on the photography techniques and tools/brushes that are useful. Once you download the files, the folders are clearly marked with their contents. Phlearn Pro Tutorial Review: The Beginner’s Guide to Levitation I was definitely interested to see if this tutorial would get me up to speed. Being primarily a portrait photographer, I would consider myself to be an absolute beginner at levitation photography. It’s because of that I decided to give this Phlearn Pro tutorial a spin. Aaron has a way of making complex ideas and processes easier to work with while entertaining you the entire way. I’ve followed Phlearn and Aaron Nace for several years now. In this Phlearn Pro tutorial, Aaron Nace breaks down several different ways to create your own levitation images and amaze your viewing audience.
