I’ve been seeing many pictures containing people "floating"

ie.

and

now, the second one looks like she is just jumping, but the first does not. (as you can tell)

how would I go about making myself, or others float in photoshop, without removing and adding a whole new background?

You can’t. You’d have to remove the background and then put the foreground images on a new background.

The first one’s lousy. Good masking, but the shadows are amateursville.
