DOUBLE EXPOSURE
What is Double Exposure Photography?
Double exposure photography refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional, or humorous. They usually feature silhouettes.
Double exposure effect may look complicated at first. But it's easy to make in-camera and in Adobe Photoshop. You don't need a double exposure camera, as there are a few other ways you can create them.
In the editing world, you have endless possibilities. You can transform ordinary photographs into powerful masterpieces.
1. Using the Tilt-Shift Effect
Photoshop has a great tilt-shift tool that will transform your photos into soft works of art. If you want to be extra creative, blur one of your photos instead of the entire image. Or blur everything except for one important detail.
To add this feature, go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift
2. Create fake reflection
There are many ways you can create reflections. One of then is creating a double exposure with the help of a separate window photo.
This is an example of main subject surface with raindrops and bokeh. This help to add interesting textures to a multiple exposure photography.
3. Experiment with simple portraits and details textured
Combining something plain with something complicated will give you a balanced result. It will also save a lot of simple photos that you might discard.
4. Convert your results to Black & White
A lack of colour will strengthen the emotions in your double-exposure images. If you want to express your work in a vulnerable way, experiment with this.
It gives them a unique depth and allows you to experiment with something interesting just like film photography.
5. Work with silhouette
Many double exposure photographers choose to work with silhouettes. But what if you worked with silhouettes only?
It would give you a fun and doable challenge. And an opportunity to show very creative sides of yourself.
6. Pick two random photo
A random process doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful. Your results might create a story of their own, one that others will find encouraging.
A lot of double exposures photography were happy accidents. But they led to great feedback and even greater creative growth. Try and forget about any other double-exposure ideas. Shoot interesting textures, shapes and forms instead.
7. Make simple objects look fascinating
Take photos of everyday objects you usually take for granted. Try to make them look like something else. A silhouette of a dull-looking building could become the outline of a starry sky like the photo below. This technique will enhance your imagination.
8. Use shadow
Outlines of any kind are fantastic to work with for double-exposure photography. Shadows are as effective as silhouettes in this genre. They’re fascinating to work with.
PHOTOSHOP : BLEND MODES
Working with blend modes is almost always an experimental process. Because it’s nearly impossible to predict the results, you always seem to end up experimenting with different modes and Fill Opacities until you get the results you’re looking for.
