: How to achieve this type of an effect? I am trying to do something like this. Can someone tell me which technique has been used to get this effect in the picture?

Yep, exactly what Chris said... most likely achieved with 2 photographs. 1 with the female against the wall, then another without her. Select the areas you want 'erased' and mask them out.

There are two main routes to achieve this kind of effect:


Use the rubber stamp tool to retouch out the parts of the figure that you don't want. (Tricky, time consuming and almost certainly NOT how this was achieved.)
Take two photographs, with your camera in a fixed position on a tripod, one with the figure present and one without and then overlay the two images in photoshop and use a layer mask to only show the parts that you require. (Probaly how this example image was done.)
