Can sbd explain to me how to take that kind of realistic surrealist photos? Is there any tutorial on the web?

Thank you.

Can't say with the certainty as I haven't replicated it ever, but they all just look like timed jump shots. I would imagine the majority of these are self portraits done with a remote trigger.

Some are done with timed jump shots (for example, it's quite obvious that the one in the polka dots jumping next to the suitcase).

Others are done with a LOT of PP work, utilizing several images.

Google "levitation photos" and you should find some tutorials.
