 Since it was requested, I'll give some info on how I did this, though it's really pretty easy. The photos are suspended using very lightweight fishing line. I would have done more, but it was breezy and infuriating and took lots more time than I had planned. The line showed up a bit in some places, but was mostly invisible, so I cloned it out where needed. There's a flash in my bag triggered using CLS, in addition to another camera left in a reflect umbrella, approx. 20 degrees from head on to me. Set the timer, hurried over and got into position, snapped photo. Used my fuji as a prop.
Lots of things that I know now that I would do differently. Flash in bag was way too low and not dispersed so it didn't get the effect I wanted.
Editing was pretty light. Sharpen details, change some color saturation and whatnot, clone out minor lines, fix a reflection in a couple of the photos, some dodging on the bag and a couple other slight areas. Easier in idea than you'd think, harder in the details though. Thanks for the comments and glad it was enjoyed.

That's pretty cool. Are the photos on some plexiglass? And if so, how do the flash not bounce off it. I look forward to seeing how it was done.
