Double exposure photography is an area which aesthetically interests me. The process of combining multiple images to create a final photo – often with colour and contrast variations – can not only be used aesthetically but also symbolically. Tying this to the theme of environment (and possibly portraiture?) could produce some graphically interesting outcomes where people can be merged with their personal landscapes. Working on this idea can involve both
digital and analogue images which I intend to take advantage of in this project. As an idea starting point – I would like to explore the theme of environment through it’s connections to people with the intended end result producing a series of portraits showing people and environments as a single concept. This may play on the idea of stereoscopic images which have a 3D effect to them, much like those below. These tend to use red and blue as colour opposites to create contrast not only in the subject but also in the presentation. Below is a starting mindmap for some basic double exposure portraits – many of which include landscapes. Animals are another theme often included and digital manipulation can be used to heavily alter photos creating surreal images (such as the fish girls)
