Either in camera or merge two or three images into one portrait. The use of double exposure creates a surreal feeling to the photos, with this it can show deep meaning or symbolism. A similar technique, called a “multiple exposure,” is when you combine more than two exposures in a single image.

Final Outcome

I took some of the portraits that I took of Lucy and layered them on top of each other where I made the only image where she’s looking to the left and no hands on her face the clearest because I want the image to have the idea that these are her emotions that is running through her head. I used 4 images to create this multi exposure with 3 of them having her hands on her head expressing emotions through that way then having one image without her hands and facing the top left corner to give the idea that she is thinking or daydreaming. This symbolises ADHD as daydreaming is a symptom, this represents the idea of lack of concentration and as she is showing different positions and the image is very noisy as though she finds it difficult to sit still.
