Multiple Exposure

Multiple Exposure

Definition - a photography technique of combining two or numerous separate exposures into one. 

Image Bank 

        I really like the multiple exposure images above as I believe they show the art of nature in a completely different way. I love the effect that the beauty of nature has when overlayed onto faces, there are certain details that show through, just enough to still see the face. I enjoy the colour photograph the most as it stands out against the rest, the majority of the multiple exposure photographs are taken in black and white. 

My Images

      This was my first attempt at multiple exposure photography, as you can see it didn't have the desired effect. Although there are flowers overlayed onto Hannah's face, it still doesn't look quite right. The reason it doesn't look like the photographs in the image bank is that I didn't take the pictures against the sky, therefore the background wasn't overexposed and had too much detail, therefore, stayed when I put in the top layer. The same goes for the flowers themselves, they weren't photographed against the sky so there was too much correctly exposed detail. 

       This was my second attempt at multiple exposure, this one went much better than the previous. It still needs improvement, however, the desired white background was achieved and the detail of Brittney's face can still be seen through the trees. I took the images for this edit against an overexposed sky in order for them to merge and create the white background. I still feel that this edit needs improving and as my nature project progresses I am hoping to achieve some outstanding pieces that reflect this style.
