Double Exposure
29.12.2011
Double exposures: achieved using film in which you expose two (or more) images on a single frame. This method can add great depth when expressing similarities (or perhaps more interestingly, differences) between two exposures or simply in presenting an unique composition.
I love shooting portraits, especially non-intrusive ones. Whether looking straight into the camera or otherwise, these portraits all connect with the viewer in a way.
Are my clients getting photos like these? Not yet. With the idea at the back of my mind, these photos can be made available if I compose them beforehand.
Make sure you shoot exactly what your brain tells you. This goes for editing as well. Use inspiration as a stepping stone to create something beyond its means. Be safe, but explore outside the box to innovate and explore new ideas.
Set a goal: it can be as crazy as portraiture only using candle light. How creative can I be with just one fading light source at my side?
One great place to start this explorative journey is at You Thought you Knew You, a blog cooperative to inspire, renew, discover and stimulate creativity.
Can two photos compliment, oppose, or change meaning – together?
You tell me…
