So, here is how you do it: Put your camera on a tripod and tighten it so it won't move.
Focus your scene and then switch to Manual focus so that your camera won't constantly
be trying to re-focus the scene. This insures that each frame will have a consistent
exposure and your aperture is locked in.
After everything is in focus and you have your shutter speed and aperture set, take a
picture of the scene with the model to the left of the frame. Then, take another picture of
the model closer to the right of the frame. Keep taking pictures with the model's body in
different areas of the frame.

You can get a friend to help you take each picture, use a remote, or use the self timer
feature on your camera. If your friend is pushing down the shutter button on the camera,
make sure they are careful on keeping the camera perfectly in place and not to
accidentally bump into it.
