What is double exposure?
Double exposure is the method of superimposing two exposures in a single frame, most commonly known as double exposure, and to the day is one of photography's most impressive techniques. Using this method of overlaying images on top of each other, you are able to shape an image of nature into the silhouette of a person, to create dream like portraits.
It is easily one of the most creative techniques in photography as the possibilities are endless due to digital photography.
Here are some examples of double exposure:
I found that the use of nature was particularly effective when it came to the images, as the trees could be used for a variety of different things such as fades etc. Through this I found it great how trees could be used to define a certain aspect of the image itself, and so allowed for the silhouettes of the creatures they wished to be highlight.
I decided to make a response to these ideas by mainly focusing around the human body and nature combined. These were the results:
To create these I used the opacity tool, this increased the transparency of the top image, allowing for the lower image to be seen more clearly, creating the desired effect. I then used the paint tool to rub out the excess parts of the image to match the shape of the subjects face, making it seem more realistic.

Improvements made but Incomplete at present but with potential for interesting and successful development. Final images, analysis, compare and contrast and evaluation to be published and clearly displayed to demonstrate a critical understanding of content, concept and context.
