Lecture 5-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.

·Using the Tilt-Shift Effect

Transform our photos into soft works of art.

To add this feature: Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift.

Fig 1.5.1 Example of using the Tilt-Shift Effect

·Create fake reflection

This help to add interesting textures to a multiple exposure photography.

·Experiment with simple portraits and details textured

Combining something plain with something complicated will give us a balanced result.

It gives images a unique depth and allows us to experiment with something interesting just like film photography.

·Use Shadow

Shadows are as effective as silhouettes in this genre. They’re fascinating to work with.

-Blend Modes

Working with blend modes is almost always an experimental process. We always seem to end up experimenting with different modes and Fill Opacities until you get the results we are looking for.

Fig 1.5.9 Blend Modes

Here’s a quick guide:

1.Select the Layer 1 (Fire) to be on top of the Background (Musicians)

2.Go to the Blending Modes option 

3.Select “Screen”

4.As a result, all of the pixels on the fire will be selected as Screen blending mode.
